Making a Micro T the RCM way

I'll start winding probably tomorrow with the 26awg wire. Turns out 26awg is probably the exact size the original windings used. I hope to be around the 1000-1200kv range.

And I found I was geared for 75mph with the old 2300kv.

Gives ya a whole new respect for the woman who probably has to do about 40 of these per hour.. when you really think about what's involved, $8 seems all but impossible. If these were made in the US (haha) they would be ten times that much.

That takes some real patience. One of my most memorable nightmare projects was lacing my own wheels for my mountain bike. That was over 20 years ago... you guys just have one carbon spoke now- it's a lost art!

Very cool project and I hope you get those motors REAL close in kv!

Steering trim might not fix more than about 2% variance.

Good luck little China girl...

Seriously, I thought I had incrediable pateince. I don't think I'd have it for winding those tiny motors with my big fat fingers. Keep up the great work and good luck to you Riley
