Winding Tool

Here is a tool I made to hold the stator when re-winding micro-sized brushless outrunner motors like the HP series (HP08, HP08-2, HP06, HP07). Materials used is a M5 threaded rod, M5 nut, and two pieces of a brass tube (5mmx6mm). The handle is from an old paint roll.

I rewound the HP08-2 with a winding scheme originally posted by Terry74 (thanks Jay!). Its 2 strands of 30 AWG (0.255mm) magnet wire, 5 turns, delta. Lots of detailed information on winding schemes and diy brushless motors can be found at the great website powercroco.de. Very good magnet wire can be found at Brocotts UK (search eBay).

For the record: Original winding of my HP08-2 bought from WOW Hobbies was 3 strands of appr. 0.2mm, 5 turns delta.

The ZULU trainer is an extremely light-weigth and durable canopy for the Walkera 4G6 / 4#6. At only 2.4g (0.85oz) it offers a significant weight saving and performance increase compared to the stock canopy.

A new canopy design for the Walkera 4G6 / 4#6. With inspiration from the Henseleit MP and Three Dee RIGID canopy, I made this canopy longer and tightly closed around the swashplate.

Its easy to put on and uses the original rubber grommets and canopy mount.

And the best part: at 3.5gm it’s even lighter than the original canopy. Here are two pics one of the first prototypes. Still working on the colors and decal sets.
