XPower F2919/10 Light 1480 RPM/V 83g Cased Outrunner
Description
Eliminating the gearbox simplifies the powertrain and reduces the risk of failure. It also results in requiring a smaller (less efficient) propeller. In the past that was a disadvantage as powertrain efficiency was essential for good performance. However with the current state of technology excellent performance can be achieved even with small props, and they do offer several advantages, namely:
- Less stuff hanging out in the wind and less glide drag, so overall better glide performance, especially at speed.
- Usually a higher pitch speed is obtained, allowing very fast transitions to a low level thermal a long way away (if you are one of those god-pilots who know there the lift is).
- Smaller propellers reduce the effects of torque, making the initial climb out easier.

Great “little” motor. Fitted perfectly into the NG2M. Figure I will have an excess of power.
This is my second XPower cased outrunner. They are tough motors.
This will power my Xplorer 2. Thanks Neil.
Motor working well, 10X6 Aeronaut prop, 32mm spinner, 1000 mAH 3S,
34-36amps launching an 1850gram glider no problem.
I've seen more and more pilots using these XPower motors and have been very impressed. I finally decided to get some. They made it to me across the pond very quickly. This variant was able to pull up a 1400g Q4 4m model to almost 300m in 30 seconds.
Not used in glider yet put appears very suitable for my glider and runs very
y smooth
Bought one of these which was one of the recommended motors for the Tango. Pretty much from the start I noticed the nose of the plane was noticeably warm to the touch. ( checked with a watt meter and was in spec.). Then the motor started turning off 10 or so seconds into the launch. On the last flight after plopping down into angle length grass I found the firewall with he motor still attached was laying on the grass with 2 of the 3 wires broken off. I am sort of assuming the wire were the problem from the start and created the more then normal heat???
The latest F5J has a very thin fuselage, limiting power unit options. Among them, I think X-Power, which can provide reliable power in the smallest size, is the best choice. The price is also reasonable. It has already been installed in multiple F5Js and can be used with confidence.
Superb for lighter models, only requires a 10' x 6' prop to get the full F5j height.
Great little out runner motor without the outer casing rotating.....perfect for the narrow F5J fuselages . As always arrives at the doorstep lighting fast...Neal excels with his prompted service.
Quick delivery to nz. Always best prices and max 3 weeks delivery to nz.
Good service and good products. What could be more clear on the site is if the prices are including or excluding VAT. I had to pay additional import administration fees plus VAT, which made it a lot less competitive.
Loved the power of the windy edition so bought this one for my Light 5J. Care must be taken, when installing in 30mm CNC mount. that absolutely no epoxy builds up to the inside edge. You need all of mount area clear, or you will not seat the motor flush.
Excellent bit of engineering and surprisingly complete with 4 bearings.
Beware the short step at the back of the motor where the diameter is increased slightly.
In an Inside F5j, on 3 cells and swinging an 11x6 the climb is very spritely.
Bought this for a Travel Adventure 3m F5J ship....fits nicely in the nose, and the service was in accordance to tradition.....First rate!!!
