Replacement electric motor for a Park 150

[wingspanner]

I've build rc models before over the years but only for static purposes and ive decided to build a slow park flyer in depron as my first flyer. The only thing is that it recommends using a Park 150 motor. Plane is a Lazy Bee 20" wingspan, 15" length 5.1 oz weight. Any ideas on a replacement motor or links to an equivalent one?

These are ok for 20" span on 2S, but I can't find in stock anywhere

Just Google micro motor

Something like this?

 

PPOM-2321-2050 4-Max Micro Brushless Motor

    I fly a Micro Bee and while this model can flit about quite slowly in calm conditions give it some beans and it becomes a crazy hairybatic model, loops in an instant and with lots of rudder will roll three times in a second!!!

 Keep control throws low 10mm each way. It is a rather small model to start with and can soon be just a splodge in the sky getting away from you.

    Sorry to be rather negative about this. However as you say this is a first flyer  I would recommend something larger even a Bee and have some help getting you started.  As a self taught flyer many moons ago I would say it's a hard road.

The Park 180 is available, 2 or 3 cell lipo and 30 watts.

Horizon's ridiculous habit of not giving out the specs of their kit so you can find suitable alternatives strikes again... Is it really that hard for them to provide the kV, mass etc on their site? It's all designed to keep you locked into their (high priced) ecosystem IMO...

Thanks for the advice all. I will look at building a larger model . Something that will fly slower.

  Just about the easyest flyer I have is my old Mercury Matador, originally flown free flight but now converted to radio control with throttle, rudder.  On a calm evening a delight to just steer about the sky and more or less lands itself.

  There are many vintage type's in the 50" to 70" that may suit. Sarik models have many plans available.  Cheers,  John.

I was consider moving up to the 48” lazy bee. I was gonna make it out of 6mm depron foam as the wings would be a lot easier to repair as I’m expecting multiple crashes 😂😂😂

   Yes, Larger Lazy would be good. My Little Bee is the most crashed model I have [just tempts one to push the flight envelope] but keeps getting stuck back together.
