Default ELECTRIFLY System looking for a plane

I have a Electrifly S-600GD ESC Motor System with Gear Drive it came with a C-30 ESC below is the breakdown as to the way it is listed on the box. S-600 Reverse Rotation 7-8c Ferrite Motor * GD-600 Electric Grear Drive 2.5:1 * High Frequency ESC w/Brake,BEC and low voltage Cutoff *9x8 Propeller for Electrics * GD-600 pioion gear 15T 3:1 Ratio. It came attached to a plane but it did not workout. I need help in finding a plane that I could use this on. Any ideas would be great!
Thanks
Kevin

Default ELECTRIFLY System looking for a plane

electricub and ryan sta from greatplanes come to mind. any lightly wingloaded ship in the three pound range will probably work. if you want a little more power for not too much $ try an endoplasma or a magnetic mayhem from kyosho. better brushes and commutator will handle alot more amps giving you a little broader model selection to choose from.

Default thanks

I am trying to find a plane that I could use this setup seen as I already have it. All I want to add is a battery pack. I have tried the ryan, it did not work out. Keep the ideas coming please.
Thanks
Kevin

I might go with one of the OldTimer series from Spirit of Yesteryear Model Aircraft Company - the classic Lanzo Bomber, Playboy etc are all designed for "05" [=Speed 600] motors. Check out the range at New Creations R/C (#SYO701-SYO704: kits are $58-$68).

Cheers, Phil

10 cells and an 11/7 apc e prop will fly an lt 25 from sig nicely. your going to need some good high capacity batterys though and they arent cheap!
