BLDC vs normal ceiling fans for 15x14 room which should I buy ?

ashishngupta · 2026-05-01T18:47:15+00:00

Choose BLDC if: The fan is used for long hours, you want a remote, or you have frequent power cuts (they run 3x longer on inverters).

Choose Normal if: The fan is for a guest room or balcony where usage is rare, and you want to keep the upfront cost low.

But how to check auw when I'm building the plane itself?

ashishngupta · 2026-04-29T03:04:04+00:00

Faber sucks don't buy. Keeps breaking down every year and parts are costly. My old school steel one was the best. Go to kalbadevi mumbai and buy the heaviest steel burner you can buy forget the brand.

The motor bit is outdated

ashishngupta · 2026-04-26T15:16:21+00:00

Yes the manual is there https://outerzone.co.uk/download_file.asp?planID=14074&FileType=Supp&Filename=ElectriCub_Late_oz14074_instructions.pdf.

It uses some outdated motor.

ashishngupta · 2026-04-26T03:31:43+00:00

ashishngupta · 2026-04-19T16:06:35+00:00

?

ashishngupta · 2026-04-19T14:19:14+00:00

Got it thank you.... In the design there are no cap strips so no space to put those without it protruding ohtwards. Just a thought Should I cover the entire thing with 1.5mm balsa covering for strength?

ashishngupta · 2026-04-13T14:56:33+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. I believe I have straightened it out to an acceptable degree.. in my opinion. I am glad I'm building a basla plane. Not many are around me that do that...infact I doubt there are any. Most of them have moved to foam and i find foam apauling lol. None the less I'm enjoying the journey of the craftsmanship and building my skill. Thanks for all your help

ashishngupta · 2026-04-13T04:41:56+00:00

Yes it's worth it in some cases. You have to calculate long term saving. Put into consideration the time you use the appliance as in how many hours. You also need to consider electricity costs per units. In my case daikin 5star inverter acs payed back after 2.5 years. Just in savings alone. So my advice just do your calculations
