Robert Edney Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi, me again, got everything built and just got to do the electric stuff, I got the radio servo's and I have ordered brushless motor + ESC +_ propeller power kit for planes up to 1200 g ideal weight 800 g with 3 s battery but there are so many and I don't really understand what one to buy, I don't want to spend a lot as everything has all added up so any advice would be great. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 In order to get worthwhile advice from forum members you need to provide full details of the model and what items you have already bought. So tell us the name of model, the type of model, the wingspan and likely weight then tell us which motor/ESC/&prop you have ordered or intend to order. Then we may be able to advise on the Lipo too, maybe 1000mah like this would suit. Don't forget that you will probably need 2 or more Lipos to get a few flights. So save postage by ordering them all together with whatever connectors you will need for the ESC (ncluding matching bullet connectors to the motor ) Remember you will also need a proper Lipo charger too. Make sure you order from the UK or EC warehouse if you order from HobbyKing - don't get caught for import duty if you order from the warehouse in China!

Robert Edney Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 It is an embark 1.5 M wing span beginner glider, I orders the motor from Amazon and all it say is it is for planes in the 700-1200 gram range and to use 3s lipo, hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 You need to give exact details of the motor - KV and motor number etc if you want more help. Or a link to the item you have bought. Frankly it would have been better to have posted the link before you bought and asked peoples opinion on suitability. Experienced modellers usually know the best or cheapest sources!

Robert Edney Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thanks for the link kc, I'm learning all the time, remember this is my first time, be gentle, joke, but what starts out as something you think will be not to difficult soon becomes frustrating and expensive, but if it Doe's fly and I think it will, I know what one is next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Robert, I admire your courage. No one here is laughing at you. We have been there. But advice. Get opinions, before you spend money. Because leccy is technical, and there are better sources of knowledge than what Amazon say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
