This is a video review of the SunnySky V2216-11 900kv Motors. The bottom line these are great little motors, smooth and good build quality.
I paired them with 20A ESCs flashed with simonk, 10"x4.5 props and mounted them on a tricopter.
I broke it down into three parts: Overview, Thrust Testing and Test Flight
Part 1 - Overview - General Information

Part 2 - Thrust Testing - Motors were put a test scale.

Part 3 - Test Flight - Motors were mounted and flown on a tricopter (David Windestal`s).

thanks for your test!
I just ordered 4 of these motors.
I'm going to use them with 4s Lipo, do you still use them?
Can you suggest me a good prop config for this?
I plan to use HK blueseries 20A ESC, 17.8A in your test is too much?
Thanks again Pietro

I definitely still use them, still loving these motors, I would probably recommend 9" or 10"x4.5 prop, i haven't tried the motors with anything else yet but I do want to get some good quality Graupner props someday. So far they have been fine with the 20A ESCs and have had over 30+ flights on them. The ESCs do get warm but that is expected. 17.8A is fine as it is under 20A, if you are worried and want a bit more of a cushion and are not concerned with weight go with the Hobby King 30A ESCs.

I'm not so skilled in multicopters, I'm facing my first one indeed..
I bought 4 of these v2216-11 900kV and HK blueseries 20A
I'm waiting for them and I didn't order the lipos yet.
So some people on an italian forum told me that 4S is overpower for this motor and to go with 3S and 10x4,5" props, otherwise I'll probably loose flight time..
With 4S they told me to use 9x5 graupner props..
I calculated my 4copter will be 1.3-1.4Kg more or less, and it's an Hobbyking X550 Glass Fiber Quadcopter Frame.
What do you suggest?
Thanks again
Bye

My suggestion is to go with 3s for you, as my copter is 1.8kg and I fly 3s with it sometimes and it flies great, I just like flying with 4s to make it go faster and push things alittle :). Just remember to get something with a good C rating you will want something around a 3300mah with 30C rating. 3.000 x 30 = 90amps continuous amp draw, which will be well above what your copter will drawn on 3s.
