Thanks Geoff, That's encouraging. At least I'm in the right ball park (I just noticed that I misquoted the motor number, it should be 2212/13T rather than 2312/13T). Just in case I need to use a more powerful motor I'll make sure that fitting a larger motor is easy. Thanks for the advice about the wattmeter, I hadn't thought of that. I'll look into it. Richard

I’m about to start building a Lazy Bee with the 50 inch span Extended Wing with ailerons. I intend to power it with a GWS 2312/13T motor and a 3 cell LiPo about 2100 mAh capacity, the speed being controlled with a GWESC25A Controller.. I have the motor and speed controller already but not the battery. (I did buy an Impulse one but I allowed it to go flat so it won’t charge any more). The propeller is a vivid orange EP 9070 (9 x 7) but I can obviously play around with the choice of propeller. This combination was recommended by my local model shop but I wondered if anyone could offer opinions as to whether it will provide sufficient power. With a Lazy bee I’m after a fun flyer, little more than just floating around but it is nice to have a bit of power in hand for emergencies (aka poor piloting).
