I will operate 120kv at 14s.
What does Lift run at?
130kv at 14s. (20 char)
So about 500 rpm’s less… In that case I guess it should work.
I was under the impression that a jet runs way more RPM’s… But than again it’s not truly a jet, and that might explain the lower RPM’s
I can attest that the 120V motor will let the Lift original jetdrive work.
I cobbled together a way to mount the drive on the same rig I use my Flite prop on.
I use a 10S11P battery pack that a number of us use in our Fliteboard based setups.
I use a 1300 XOver foil that works fine until 1/2 battery is depleted. At that point I can’t get on foil. If I mount a larger front wing I can foil normally with starts all the way to my cutoff voltage.
Off topic, but does the lift jet use a gearbox?
We have a JetWave motor (and jet) here, and measured just under 12000 RPM on the motor shaft at 12S (that is around a 270kv motor I guess)
Jetwave is using no gearbox.
We testes a 65161 120kv motor on this jet, but did not even come close to enough speed.
No as its just a small diameter prop fully ducted. Its not really a jet at all.

Were you able to install this on your 65161? I seem to recall you and @gazlinux were wanting to try this
Yes I posted about that a few posts up😉
That’s quite a weapon!! The Lift Jet has very close tolerance between blade tips and the inside of the cone. It look like your jet is similar.
One other jet option I’ve been looking at is from Manta foils. It looks more like a jet than the Lift version, but I’m not sure it’s a “true” jet or just a more elongated ducted prop
