Re: New to elcectrics

I feel you pain. I really do. It was only a matter of weeks ago that I was here asking for that same kind of help. Really!

Tony, the site owner, has a very very cool video that has some great explanation on battery, esc, and motor.

Here's the link:
Now...this video will NOT tell you specifically what you need but, by his own example, this video will show you what to be looking for. I suggest starting with this video, as I did, then come back here if/when you need more help. As Tony states in his video, there is some unfortunate "trial and error" but there are also some formulas that will help in choosing some parts.

Something around a 380-400 size motor with an 8x4 prop on that plane will work great. Run a 2200mah battery with a 30-40a ESC. It will probably not have unlimited vertical, but it will fly. I'm running a 450 size motor in my Rc-Help Trainer (click on link to download it) and it's working great with a 10x6-12x8 prop.
