Question on electric motors
Hi, I am on the hobby for some months and until now I only bought RTF planes due to ignorance. Now I want to take one ARF electric plane and set it up manually. I am however confused on what motor is the best to buy, depending on RPM and W
e.g.
Motor1: 2200rpm/v 178W
Motor2: 800rpm/v 370w
As you can see, Motor1 has better RPM, but less W than Motor2. So which one is 'better'? (FYI I am trying to build a very fast delta wing plane
)
Also how do I know what ESC suits better the motor/battery I've chosen?
Yes I am lost
. Please advise!
