Default Will this motor br strong enough?

I demolished a hobbico red hawk a few weeks ago when a servo failed on the first flight. The company was great about replacing it, and now I have a perfectly good engine/board/servo set and dont know what to do with it.

I was wondering If there is any kit out there that this would power?.

Its a 3 channel setup.

The motor is a 380, but I dont know what that means.

Any advice? Thanks.

This cub requires a 350, your 380 will be even better.

That kit is for four channels. You would need a different radio.

That radio and motor are hard to adapt to other planes. You are probably better off getting a futaba 4 channel skysport radio, and some gear that is easier to swap between planes.

Seems like it wouldn't be so difficult to find another plane that is controlled just by 3 channels.

I know it may seem trivial, I just hate to have a perfectly good power set with nothing to do with it.


If I could find a plane that is controlled specifically by the tail it might work.
