I hope you guys don't mind me posting in English, my Portugese has become a bit rusty lately ;) I'll be posting several messages on the subject of do-it-yourself brushless motors and diy brushless controllers, i.e. if that's ok with the moderators?

Dear Ron,

Welcome to EVoo Forum.

Don´t worry about posting in English, but, I think, not all people will understand and or reply to you.

At the same time, a lot of people are interested in new subjects and technologies.

Go ahead.
:wink:

Eduardo, one way or another, the people that don't understand English, will learn the info from their English speaking Brasilian colleagues, that's the beauty of a forum :)

A short introduction of myself.

Born december '61, educated as an electronics engineer (at [url]www.tue.nl/en_index.html[/url], the good old days :) hated 3-phase courses) but I always worked in technical embedded software (dvd-, printer-,machine-control, crypto systems) and microprocessor/dsp development. ( www.asml.com , www.philips.com , www.arcobel.com , www.stork.com ).

I live in Druten (near Nijmegen, Netherlands) 30km from the German border. Member of www.rmvc-cumulus.tk (115 pilots) Since 1991 I organise our annual international electric fly-in & diy outrunner meet. This year we had 80 pilots from Germany, France, Belgium, Czechia and the Netherlands. Pictures:

I'm the 'owner' of the English do-it-yourself brushless (outrunner) discussion group:
http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/lrk-torquemax/
And since one week I'm also the 'owner' of the eflight [i:e63a1098d5]Drive Calculator[/i:e63a1098d5] discussion and software update group:

You will also find me in the 'powersystems' subforum at www.ezonemag.com and the 'elektromotoren' subforum www.rclineforum.de . And about 20 other forums, from Finland via India to New Zealand, harrassing ;) people about diy brusless motors.

Is it easy for you guys to order magnets from say:
www.engconcepts.net (a.k.a. Mr.George, USA)
www.aircraft-world.com (David Radford, an American in Japan)
or
www.supermagnete.ch (Switzerland) == www.supermagnete.de (Germany)
www.neotexx.com (Germany)

Welcome, Ron!

I am following your job for more than 3 years and I give you our congratulations for your effort on making known all that information about DIY brushless motors and especially the LRK's.
Thanks to your information I could build my first DIY LRK.
Despite we don't have english content many of us speak and understand a bit of english 'cause most part of useful RC info are available in that language.
Our forum is young but very promising.
How did you reach us?

Our home is your home. Feel free to post your updates anytime.

Junior.
