KAVAN PRO Brushless Motors
Brushless Out runner Motors for Model Aircraft

Thank you for choosing a KAVAN PRO brushless out runner motor. Our brushless motors with neodymium magnets and a rotating case are manufactured using advanced technology and high quality materials. The unique design of the motor gives extremely high torque allowing the use of large diameter and high pitch propellers without the need for a gearbox. To enjoy trouble-free operation of your new motor, please take your time to read through these instructions.

MOTOR INSTALLATION

Please note: the case of the motor rotates! Beware of loose wires, parts or RC flight equipment etc. It is a good idea to fit a special former separating the motor „from the rest of world“. The KAVAN PRO outrunner motor design with its rotating case significantly increases the need of a robust motor mount. We recommend the use of a folding propeller even with aerobatic models whenever possible. If you are using your motor at the upper end of it‘s power range, please make sure that your motor really is securely mounted. The appropriate firewall is e.g. 1.0-1.5 mm birch or beech plywood for PRO 19xx, 1.2-2 mm birch or beech plywood for PRO 2809-2813, 2-3 mm birch or beech plywood for PRO 2826-2836, 3-5 mm for PRO 35xx, 5-6 mm for PRO 43xx (the bigger diameter and/or length of the motor, the thicker firewall required). To change the direction of rotation, simply swap over the connection of the outer two cables between the motor and speed controller, but leave the centre cable connection as it is. Regular Front Mount: The motor must be mounted on a rigid mounting with bolts of appropriable length screwed into the front plate. There is a risk of the motor winding damage if the screws were longer. If the screws were shorter there would be risk of tearing the screw off the thread in the front plate.

Radial Motor Installation:
The radial mount set is supplied with the motor. Cooling: Please note that your KAVAN PRO is a high performance electric motor working under high current loading which may produce substantial amount of heat. Proper cooling is essential as well as it is with an internal combustion engine. Overheating of your motor causes increased wear of the bearings and partial demagnetization, that decreases performance of the motor. Please make sure that cooling air can flow not only through the holes in the front plate but also around the outer casing in order to allow cooling of the armature and magnets. There is a simple rule of thumb: the area of cooling air intake(s) on your model should be at least twice the total area of openings on your motor. The area of cooling outlet(s) should be as twice as large comparing to the intakes to allow for expansion of the heated air.

SELECTING A MOTOR FOR YOUR MODEL

Based on the widely recommended all-up weight/power ratio every size line of KAVAN PRO motors is assigned to a model of a certain all-up weight in the „Specifications“ table in this manual. The „glider“ means „thermal glider“; if you were looking for a „warmline“ or „hotliner“ set-up, you should choose the „Aerobatic“ or „3D“ motor. Considering the rule of thumb: „The power of brushless motors opt the same type (out runner) and similar weight is similar“ and the important parameter „KV“ (RPM per Volt) you can use this table to find an equivalent KAVAN PRO motor to any brushless out runner that might be recommended by the manual or plan or the of your choice. To find the equivalent simply choose the KAVAN PRO motor size line of the similar weight and then choose the particular KAVAN PRO motor that is the closest match for the KV value of the recommended motor.

SELECTING THE CORRECT PROPELLER

Due to the „natural character“ of the out runner motors (relatively low RPM, high torque) it is very important to use propellers specially designed for the use with electric motors. You can find the recommended propeller sizes in the table below. Since the power curve of the KAVAN PRO out runners is very flat the motors are usually capable to swing propellers of slightly larger diameters than the table is showing. However, this also inevitably means higher current consumption and increased load that might reduce the lifetime of your motor significantly. Any choice of a propeller bigger than listed in the table MAY NOT be done without measuring of the actual current consumption and motor&ESC temperature in order to prevent overloading of your motor and/or controller.

SELECTING AN ESC FOR YOUR MOTOR
The specification sheets contain also the recommended amperage of the required brushless electronic speed controller. Please always pay your attention to the peak current value as well as the required input voltage range.
The KAVAN PRO Combo Sets save yourself from any doubts on the ESC – they contain a perfectly matched KAVAN R or PRO line programmable brushless ESC.

RUNNING-IN
There are no brushes or other moving parts requiring additional „wearing-in“ of the contact surfaces, so no running-in is required.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The KAVAN PRO brushless motors do not require any special maintenance – just keep the following simple rules:
– Avoid running your motor under dusty or wet conditions.
– Avoid foreign matter getting in the cooling holes of your motor. Beware of small bolts, screws and another small items that can be attracted to the magnets of your motor  during installation or maintenance.
– Do not disassemble motor. The bearings of this motor are greased with a special high quality grease that will last through the whole expected life. Do not use any organic  solvents, cleaners or detergents to clean your motor, these agents may wash out the grease and substantially reduce the lifetime of your motor.
– If there is some dirt in your motor (after an accident) do not try to rotate the shaft. Carefully remove the dirt with compressed air at first. In the case of more serious  damage the motor should be sent for service.
– Never try to straighten a bent shaft, if the steel shaft has been bent, most likely there will be more serious damage inside the motor.
– If you are in doubts, please contact the Pelican Daniel service to get qualified assistance or repair.

SAFETY NOTES

– Install only undamaged and balanced propellers and securely tighten with a wrench.
– Never touch, or allow any object to come into contact with the rotating propeller.
– A weakened or loose propeller may disintegrate or could be thrown off which may result in serious injury. Inspect the propeller after each flight. Discard any propeller that  has nicks, scratches or any other visible defect (the material of damaged plastic props becomes lighter). Discard the propeller after a crash or contact with ground during a  heavy landing even if the propeller looks undamaged, there could be internal stress or damage that may result in a failure later.
– For their safety, keep all onlookers (especially small children) well away (at least 20 feet or 6 meters) when preparing your model for flight. Keep the propeller pointing away  from you and other people, and walk well clear of spectators.
– First switch on your transmitter, check the position of the throttle stick (and related switches if any), only then connect your power pack to the speed controller and switch on the receiver.
– Always leave space for the propeller to rotate (in case of a speed controller failure or interference). A stopped propeller could result in damage to your controller and motor, or even cause fire.
We wish you many years of trouble free flying with our high performance motors. Fly safe, have ball!
