49" katana
I have a 49" aeromax katana arf. I need to find a motor for it. I am a rookie at electric flying. Been flying gas since 1984. I want it to have enough power to accelerate from a hover. I don't know what the total weight will be but I'm thinking 48 to 64 oz. Maybe a little more with 4s li-po's. Any suggestions on a motor. I am considering the scorpion 3014-1040 kv or the 3020-890 kv.

RE: 49
I just maidened mine. It flew well with a Turnegy 35-36c and an 11x5.5 prop. It puts out 490 watts at 40 amps. The airplane was very tail heavy so I added 4 oz of lead to the nose and used a 30c 3300 3s battery to balance it.
A little bigger motor would be even better to balance the nose out.
