Default N00B question: Low Cell Count & Higher KV vs High Cell Count & Lower KV
Hello all,

I'm new to electrics, and have converted an Alpha 40 to electric using an outrunner motor and A123 batteries. In doing my homework and research, I'm wondering about an item. I read the "Everything You Wanted To Know about Electrics" eBook posted here, and I'm sure the answer is in there, but it's not jumping out and grabbing me.

My question is, generally speaking, when using an outrunner motor, for general sport flying, what are the pros/cons of using a lower cell count with a high KV motor, vs adding cells and a lower KV motor?

Thanks,

-Jorden
