Tim Mackey Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Heres a couple for starters....AXI ( Not cheap cheap, but not as bad as the Muton death ray gun ) 22/12/20 goldline on 3s and 10 x 5BRC cheapie ( 17 quid ) here"250 watt motor, happy on 3s and 10 " prop etc.Depends really on what sort of power you want. If its the model belowThen you are looking at around 1.5 lbs AUW I beleive, so aim for around 150 watts per pound for sprightly performance, therefore you need about 225 Watts.... or more if you want to really be ballistic.

Tim Mackey Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I think then that this model you have is smaller and lighter. Span works out at 40 inches, and weight at only 19oz - although dont know if this is airframe only, or AUW?If so, then that motor is OTT and you would get away with something of around 150 - 200 watts...Maybe this ?? very inexpensive and 170 watts capableYou may need to drop a prop size though if planning on a 3s Lipo. This motor does have a higher Kv than the others, and may be just a little to high revving. In that case try this at 20 quid ! Of course the trusty wattmeter will tell you all your vitals on the bench. I think this motor is rated at around 19A absolute max, so prop it for about 15A or so to give around 150watts plus on a decent quality 3s battery.
