Yes the orion is much smaller and ,not sure how it compares to the 410,but compared to the 310 its has alot more balls!!!!! Ceck out my post on orion,it has a picture attatched, much much lower overhead.

ok cheers guys will have to get one then

andy

Heres a comparison picture if this helps?

thats excellent ian thanx i'll be ordering one off you soon .

ps did that last glitch get sorted, been having probs with that.

thanx again

andy

Great picture. I had no idea the orion was so small. So, is the final verdict that the orion will handle the load of the pro ? What about the pinion attachment - the shaft looks a lot shorter than the 410 motor - will it be long enough to attach the pinion?

Ta

the shaft is longer but there is a fan on the 410 remove the fan and i think it should be perfect. look at the pic you can just see the fan between the motor and pinion.

but will it be OK on a 9 cell pack and the piccoboard pro , even with incorrect pitch settings (ie, too high headspeed or too high pitch to headspeed ratio ) ??

I'm still toying withe Orion on my Pro. Currently I'm using 8 cells and a 9 tooth pinion but I'm finding it very difficult to get a throttle/pitch curve setup which doesn't bog down at higher pitch or vibrate excessively at hover. I'm going to try an 8 tooth pinion to see if I can get some more RPM out of the Orion and if that doesn't work I'm going to sod it all and go brushless.
