A bungee attachment to the rear of the helmet might help hold you up, hang gliders also face prone, do they have issues with sore necks? maybe the wind helps there too.

The factory controller in the washing machines crash, the motors are recycled.

See there is way more room for copper, I could stick my finger in there!! I'm not sure the multi strand vs single makes much difference, would you go larger than 1mm or smaller than .6, I guess it depends on the characteistics required, Am I right saying small wire and more turns = higher KV...

Looking at mine (I think an 80s) it has a fair space for more winds. I've reconfigured for a windmill 7phse but I think I would prefer a motor. I'm willing to rewire(it would be my first) but what size wire should I use?

There is a screw w/locknut on outer edge of the band housing, it controlls the evenness of the band contact around the drum, screw till seated then back off 2-3 turns and tighten locknut, adjust cable to remove slack. It may help to sand the drum as it may be shinny/greasy from ingression.

How far do you pull the brake lever in, does it touch the grip? can you adjust the slack from the line?

I'm really looking for a sensorless controller as I would like to use it for an aircraft. Surely it can handle more than 2KW!!, I have a simmilar but smaller goldenmotor w/alloy side plates (see avatar) and regularly run 2Kw on my trike and it barely warms. The GM the magnets are very thin and...

Digging this up again, I have one of these motors, now I'm wondering what sensorless RC controller would work well?

The friction is in the seals, removal of seals will allow for a free rolling bearing.

You can make the flange/ring from plywood or acrylic screwed to the mount then ali or poly can be glued/screwed into the ring.

For indoors only I guess, looks cool though.

You've done it again. Thanks Matt.

When you take a corner and accel out does it tend to spin out or is it all controlable?

A single sided cone roller with the motor mounted to a sliding mount on a rack, CVT? Any opinions weather or not a oneway bearing would work as a roller by itself on a skinny 700c wheel? I have never touched a oneway bearing so I don't know how tall or wide they are.

Seems like goped copied you :lol: http://www.goped.com/Products/GoBike/default.asp Well not exactly, they list it does freewheel. I really like how simple this type of kit is, it would be great for my flat bar road bike, earlier I made a non freewheel friction drive (ala: freestyle peg)...
