Calvino,

All my SO builds have been powered by an inexpensive TP-21 brushless motor, 18-20 amp speed controller, 10C 2000 mah LiPo battery and a 7x4 APC prop. They all handle wind fine as long as it is not overly gusty. I get 30 minutes of continuos mixed throttle flying. Almost wears you out before the batter is empty.


You can get these motors from just about anywhere. United Hobbies, BP Hobbies, Grayson, 2dogRC, etc...

The best aerial video camera I have found is this 5 in 1 that can be easily mounted on the front of a SO for some great aerial video.
