Through hundreds of hours of flight testing our airframe designs, we have established that there is a direct correlation between the airframe and drive system and one affects the other with consequences to the desired aerodynamic performance.

That meant airframes and drives should not be treated as individual items isolation but as one system. As a result we have developed our iPAs, PA Integrated Performance Airframe-Drive System allowing you to experience the exact aerodynamic performance as envisaged by our chief designer and team of test pilots minus all the guess work and unnecessary expenses.  

 

The Pro package include

 

  • PA Thrust® 30 outrunner motor with RotorKool® Technology
  • PA Quantum 45A High performance Programmable ESC
  • German made CNC machined precision prop adapter. We decided to include this adapter instead of common prop adapters usually bundled with motor accessories to avoid performance robbing vibrations and motor mount structural damage.
  • PA V2 Lipo 2,200mAh 11.1V 20-40c
  • 4 of Voltec 70MG Metal gears ball bearing micro servos 1.9kg/cm torque 0.13sec 
  • Thin gauge twisted light extension lead (made in the same German factory as our giant scale airplanes HD leads). Due to its fine high quality strings it is extremely flexible preventing RF noises and features low internal resistance. 
  • Set of 4 Carbon Fiber extended servo arms specifically designed to achieve the desired linkage geometry for full control surface movement. Note: these are different to the micro servo arms sold with PA Katana Mini/Electric Shock.
  • Low resistance Original Deans Ultra Plugs and Gold plated bullet connectors for the best electrical connection and power delivery to the drive.
  • APC 12X6E propeller OR VOX 12x6 Wooden propeller OR APC 13X6.5E propeller  OR VOX 13x6.5 Wooden propeller depend on stock levels.

Prop selection:

 Prop selection (with PA2200mah 20-40C V2 Packs)

     APC 11x5.5E -       Excellent lower range prop for the T30 with outstanding efficiency of 84%!! Running cool and smooth with longer flight duration.

 

     VOX 12X6 -            Nice propeller with lower flight speed and punch compared to the APC 12x6E but with the advantage of being lighter (meaning faster prop spooling) and a nicer prop sound ;)

Better suited for general sport flying.

 

     APC 12X6E -          Excellent overall propeller for freestyle, pattern and basic 3D. Nice balance of thrust with constant flight speed (for tumbling maneuvers). Matches well to the Thrust 30 with excellent efficiency and good flight duration. This is our recommended general prop for the Katana MD and Extra 260 if flight duration is in mind.

 

     VOX 12X7 -            Nice overall propeller for aerobatics and pattern flying providing more flight speed for high energy maneuvers with longer flight duration than the APC12x6E due to the higher efficiency. It resembles the performance of the APC12x6E but with better efficiency and 3.8A lower current drawn, plus it has the sleekly wooden appearance ;)

                                   

     APC 13x4E -          If you are a thrust freak and want a 3D beast then give this propeller a shot. With a whopping 95.68oz thrust no doubts you will impress your club mates!! Please note that this prop is not a good choice for pattern flying due to the low flight speed (low pitch propeller). This prop may be a good choice if you want to practice some low and very slow 3D since it provides the instantaneous thrust (the extra punch to get out of embarrassing situations). The combination of the low pitch and the large diameter acts as an air brake and will allow slow harriers without speeding up but with a penalty of slower throttle response therefore we do not recommend this prop for beginners. It is stable in hovering and TR.

 

VOX 13x6.5 -        This is a high range propeller for the Thrust 30 with the V2 pack and is an excellent overall prop for extreme 3D and freestyle specifically tuned for slower and graceful 3D. The added thrust provides good traction when flying slow 3D such as slow harrier rolls and slow KE. It gives an excellent punch for recovery out of awkward situations especially when learning to hover or torque roll. Allows moderate speed maneuvers with a “giant scale like” overall appearance to the maneuvers. NOTE: Adequate airflow to cool down the motor and ESC is mandatory, as well as strict throttle management.

 

VOX T30-X -             This is the highest range propeller for the Thrust 30 with the V2 pack and is an excellent overall prop for extreme 3D and freestyle, especially when high energy maneuvers like insane tumbles, walls, hard snaps and spins is your thing. This prop allows higher speed maneuvers while retaining good punch for 3D. It is a good prop for adrenaline junkies who love fast pace, high impact aerobatic flying. NOTE: Adequate airflow to cool down the motor and ESC is mandatory, as well as strict throttle management.

 

 

   VOX 11X10 -           Good propeller for high speed with high efficiency.

We recommend getting a few different size propellers with your Thrust 30 motor. Swapping a propeller is an easy task so you may want to experiment and feel the difference to fit different style of flying. Also in a hot summer day you may want to use a smaller propeller while in a cooler day you can run the motor with a larger propeller.

PA Quantum 45 High performance Programmable ESC

The PA Quantum 45 is a performance enhanced Brushless Electronic Speed Controller specifically designed to seamlessly match our Thrust 30™

Our Quantum 45 ESC is a part of our iPAs ("Integrated Performance Airframe-Drive System") offering a superior performance Airframe-Drive solution without compromise, an industry first, giving unparallel performance, reliability and efficiency out of the box.  

The PA Quantum ESC’s has 4 high power regulator chips BEC. This BEC specifically designed for extreme aerobatics and therefore has the capability to support the higher momentary peak demand loads to eliminate the possibility of unwanted shutdowns. This high power BEC is also capable of supporting continuous simultaneous multiple servo operations typically found in CCPM equipped hardcore 3D E-helicopters. This is especially important when using a 2.4GHz receiver.

This 45A ESC is only geared for one thing: to allow you to execute the most challenging maneuvers with ABSOLUTE confidence in your drive system.
With ease of use in mind, the PA Quantum 45 includes ONLY features that you NEED for performance, minimizing the hassle of lengthy and confusing programming steps. This means less time spent on the ground going through lengthy and frustrating programming features that you do not use. The PA Quantum 450 is also already pre-programmed to match the Thrust 30 motors.

  • High power output BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit)
  • Fully programmable Microprocessor Controlled 
  • User friendly human interface for easy, hassle free and quick programming
  • Exceptionally low resistance for excellent efficiency and  cool operation 
  • High Rate switching with High RPM Brushless motor support 
  • Rugged surface mounted industry grade components for added reliability and crash durability 
  • LiPo, NiMh, NiCad battery pack under voltage protection to safeguard premature deterioration and pack damage.
  • Large PCB and heat sink to allow better cooling.

  • German made CNC machined precision prop adapter.
    It may seem like a minor component installed in your high performance aircraft. However we find it extremely important since the prop adapter affect the final thrust and performance of your motor. Most prop adapters available on the market are prone to be slightly off center creating excessive vibrations that leads to the weakening of glue joints on the motor mount causing pre-mature motor-box failures. We have tested many differing brands of prop adapters without success in meeting our performance criteria (predominantly due to inconstancies in quality and precision). As such, we have decided to design our own custom made prop adapters which are specifically CAD/CAM produced in Germany. We tried many different brands with no success (mainly inconsistent quality and inaccuracy), so we decided to produce these adapters in Germany from the highest grade materials and machining. The adapter is CAD designed by Precision Aerobatics and is made for us in Germany.
  • PA Lipo pack 11.1V 2200mAh 20-40c
    These packs are perfectly matched to Quantum 45, Thrust 30 and recommended prop to attain the optimum performance and long service life. They are also perfectly sized to fit the airframe to attain the specified CG and design AWT without the need to make modifications to the airframe.
  • 4 of Voltec 70MG metal gears ball bearing micro servos
    4 of Voltec 70MG Metal gears ball bearing micro servos 1.9kg/cm torque 0.13sec 
  • Thin gauge twisted light extension lead
    This leads are made in the same German factory as our giant scale airplanes HD leads). Due to its fine high quality strings it is extremely flexible preventing RF noises and features low internal resistance. 
  • Set of 4 Carbon Fiber extended servo arms

    Get the most out of your airplane!  If your airplane features extremely large control surfaces, the load on the servos will flex the plastic spline. To get the full movement and maximum throws we offer a set of extension servo arms which are easily installed on top of the supplied servo arms. The carbon fiber arms are stiff and will not flex, allowing you to get the most out of your airplane! 

    When buying a Precision Aerobatics keep in mind that you will need those servo arms for correct linkages geometry as intended in the design.

    Features

    • Set of 4 servo arms
    • Snap installation
    • No glue required
    • Total weight including hardware 0.4g only!
    • Best solution for maximum throw in 3D funfly models
