Choosing Gear: The Motor There's a lot more than meets the eye
regarding the choice of motor. Thrust, sound, strength, cage size,
shipping ability and others. Don't expect to get a straight answer from
manufacturers. Only a few really state the facts and a few blurt out
utter nonsense with a religious conviction.
Another thing that has become obvious is how pilots tend to like what
they learned on. As we cover elsewhere, before choosing your first
motor, choose an instructor and make sure they're familiar with the gear
you plan to learn on. I've been asked about torque and twist many
times and find a tremendous amount of misinformation. Sometimes it's
given with religious fervor. It's still wrong. I've worked with other
respected pilots and aerodynamic experts to gather consensus for the PPG
Bible and we are on agreement with what's presented there.
