Key Features
- 1000Kv Rating — The Kv specification determines the motor's rotational speed per volt applied, and at 1000Kv this motor delivers a moderate speed range ideal for many RC aircraft applications, providing excellent control characteristics and power delivery across standard battery configurations used by RC flyers.
- 14-Pole Motor Design — The 14-pole configuration provides smooth, refined operation with reduced vibration and cogging compared to lower pole count alternatives, resulting in quieter, more efficient flight and better overall flight characteristics for your brushless RC aircraft.
- Outrunner Configuration — The outrunner design places the stator on the outside and rotor magnets on the inside, enabling direct drive or geared configurations with excellent torque characteristics and the ability to turn larger propellers efficiently, making it versatile for various aircraft designs.
- Brushless Technology — Brushless motors eliminate the need for brush maintenance and deliver superior efficiency compared to brushed alternatives, meaning longer flight times, reduced heat generation, and more consistent power delivery throughout your RC aircraft's operational envelope.
- Spektrum Brand Heritage — Manufactured by Spektrum, a division of Horizon Hobby and a recognised authority in RC electronics, this motor benefits from decades of engineering expertise and quality control standards that ensure reliable performance and customer satisfaction.
- Professional Grade Construction — Built with precision-engineered components and rigorous quality standards, this motor is designed to withstand the demands of regular flying and provides the durability expected from a professional-level RC motor manufacturer.
Technical Performance
The Avian 3536-1000Kv represents careful engineering optimised for RC aircraft applications. The 3536 frame size indicates the motor's physical dimensions, with 35mm diameter and 36mm length, making it a compact yet powerful option for many RC aeroplane designs. The 1000Kv rating strikes an excellent balance between speed and torque, allowing builders to use standard 2S to 4S LiPo battery configurations commonly available throughout the UK RC market. The 14-pole construction delivers remarkably smooth operation with low vibration characteristics, which translates to better flight stability and reduced stress on airframe components during extended flights. Brushless outrunner motors like this unit are engineered for maximum efficiency, ensuring more of your battery's energy converts to useful thrust rather than being wasted as heat. The direct-drive or geared capability of this outrunner design allows you to select appropriate propeller sizes to match your aircraft's requirements, whether you're building a trainer, sport flyer, or competition aircraft. Spektrum's quality construction ensures consistent performance across numerous flight cycles, with robust internal components designed to handle the demands of regular RC flying without degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of RC aircraft is the Avian 3536-1000Kv suitable for? — This motor is designed for electric RC aircraft and is suitable for a range of models including trainers, sport flyers, and intermediate aircraft designs. The 1000Kv rating and outrunner configuration make it versatile enough for various applications, though your specific aircraft's requirements will determine the ideal propeller size and battery configuration to use with it.
- What battery specifications does this brushless motor require? — The Avian 3536-1000Kv is designed to work with LiPo battery packs, typically in the 2S to 4S range, though you should consult your specific aircraft's documentation or the motor's detailed specifications to determine the exact battery requirements for your build. Standard RC LiPo batteries available throughout the UK hobby market are compatible with this motor.
- Is this motor suitable for beginners building their first RC aircraft? — Yes, the Avian 3536-1000Kv is a solid choice for builders of varying experience levels. Its proven design, reliable performance, and 4.4 out of 5 customer rating indicate it performs consistently in the field. Beginners should note that this is a motor-only component, so you'll need to integrate it with appropriate airframe, battery, and electronic speed controller for a complete RC aircraft system.
- What is the difference between this motor and other Avian models? — The primary difference lies in the Kv rating and physical size. The 3536-1000Kv configuration is optimised for moderate-speed applications, while other Avian models may offer different Kv ratings suited to higher or lower speed requirements. The 14-pole design of this particular model ensures smooth operation across its performance envelope.
- Do I need an ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) to use this motor? — Yes, brushless motors require an ESC to function. You'll need to select an ESC rated for the current draw of your specific application, determined by your chosen propeller size and battery configuration. The ESC connects between your battery, receiver, and motor to control speed and direction.
- What makes brushless motors better than brushed alternatives for RC aircraft? — Brushless motors offer significantly greater efficiency, meaning more battery energy becomes thrust rather than heat. They require no brush or commutator maintenance, operate with less vibration for smoother flight, and typically deliver longer operational lifespan. These advantages make brushless RC motors the standard choice for modern aircraft builders and serious RC flyers throughout the UK.
