** Data from Bob Goldie |
|
*** Data from Bucky Walter |
|
Bucky’s motors are very long, in some cases, and require a prop shaft stop. The advantage is an exceptionally long motor run (in some cases over 2 minutes). |
|
The “Code” denotes a family of models that use the same motor. For instance, the Cleveland Gull and the Korda Open Road ( G**) use the same motor. |
|
No attempt is made to indicate torque when fully wound due to batch capability and individual winding techniques. Thermals, Gene Wallock |
