IHOBBYCENTRAL :: Brushed/Brushless ESC's :: Aircraft Brushless Esc's :: Electrifly BL-8amp ESC

Electrifly BL-8amp ESC

This is the Great Planes ElectriFly 8 amp Electronic Speed Control
for Brushless Motors.
Great for small, lightweight, high-performance airplanes
from flat-foams to built-up 3Ds with Brushless Motors.

FEATURES: Works with all types of Brushless motors including "Outrunner" styles
which are capable of handling 8A continuous current
Custom BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) handles up to 1.5A; great for
models requiring three high-powered servos
Fully proportional with brake
Compatible with LiPo, NiCd, and NiMH type batteries
Programmable features include:
Brake Control: ON/OFF
Safe Start: ON/OFF, prevents accidental motor spin at start-up
Switching Frequency: 8kHz or 16kHz for long run times and cool
operation
Low Voltage Control: reduces or cuts motor control but maintains
radio control
Timing: soft (7°), hard (30° for Outrunners), or automatic
Reversible motor rotation
180 day limited warranty

INCLUDES: One Great Planes 8A Speed Control with pre-installed Universal
radio connector, micro battery connector and 2mm gold plated Female
Bullet Motor Connectors

REQUIRES: Installing in airplane and connecting motor and battery wires

SPECS: Input Voltage: 5-10 NiCd/MH cells, 2-3 LiPo cells
(20V input w/o BEC)
Output Current: 8A continuous max., 9A surge max.
BEC: 5V / 1.5A
Operating Frequency: 8 or 16kHz programmable
ON Resistance: .013 ohms
Brake: ON/OFF
Acceleration: Soft, hard, or automatic
Low Voltage Cutoff: Programmable
Max. Temp. Cutoff: 230°F (110°C)
Dimensions: .87 x .16 x .83" (22 x 4 x 21mm)
Weight: .42oz with wires (12g)

COMMENTS: The instruction sheet for the initial shipments of the ElectriFly
BL-8 Brushless ESC failed to explain how to change the setting of
the brake function in the programming. The following step should be
performed after Step 7C in the Instruction Sheet:

D. BRAKE: To change the brake setting, simply pull the throttle stick
to minimum within five seconds of hearing the programming tones
noted in step C above. This changes the state of the brake setting-
if the brake was ON this will turn it OFF, and vice-versa.
You can determine which setting is active by listening to
the arming tone. One tone indicates the brake is enabled, two tones
indicates disabled. Skip to Step 8 if you do not wish to make any
other programming changes. To CHANGE ANOTHER programmable feature,
disconnect the battery from the ESC and return to Step B above."

ElectriFly's RimFire Motor (GPMG4500) is capable of handling up to
11A of current. This BL-8 ESC puts out a maximum of 8A of current.
When putting a BL-8 ESC and a RimFire Motor into any ElectriFly
FlatOut airplane AND USING THE RECOMMENDED PROP, the motor/ESC
system will not need more than 8A. The motor will not try to draw
more current than the BL-8 ESC can deliver WHEN THE CORRECT SIZE
PROPELLER IS USED. This motor/ESC combo is perfectly matched
to the performance of the FLATOUT SERIES OF PLANES AND
THEIR RECOMMENDED PROP SIZE as well as similar type airplanes.
However, when putting a RimFire in a bigger model which WILL need
more than 8A, the BL-8 ESC will not be powerful enough to deliver
the maximum current the motor will require, and a larger ESC
will be necessary.
