ICARE SAILPLANES: Plettenberg Orbit Motors

The popularity of electric "outrunner" brushless motors is on the rise because of their ability to turn large-diameter propellers without a gearbox. Now the folks at Icare have decided to distribute their own, and they say it's 10 to 15 percent more efficient than other "outrunner" motors. The Orbit line features triple bearings, precisely balanced components and high-quality magnets and materials. They are available in two sizes and several winds to fly small, 7-cell, 2-pound models up to bigger 12-cell, 4-pound aircraft.
