Sure, that configuration is just fine for rc plane and multicopter enthusiasts, but for roboticists looking to drive these bldc motors ... for 3-phase brushless motor control.

The core of the project is a brushless DC motor originally intended a hydrofoil which is capable of providing 11 pounds (about 5 kg) of thrust. [Braden] has integrated it into a 3D-printed fin ...

Therefore, the motor requires electronic control for proper operation. For the common 3-phase BLDC motor, a standard 3-phase power stage is used. There are several design characteristics that BLDC ...
