Motor Question

Hi there,
can someone explain to me what KV translates into in the real world when it comes to brushless motors?

Thanx

Re: Motor Question

ok,
so I see motor ratings, or what I assume are ratings. For my size heli - microelectric - they seem to fall in the 300-400 range. In each of those ranges there are different KV ratings. Are the two related?

Thanks and regs
