Status: offline 		There are many in the Hobbico line-up that use that size of motor. Nexstar EP and many of the 48-52" planes in the XLC series. http://www.electrifly.com/lgelecindex.html MattCap580,sequence,540T,ect.

Status: online 		Not sure what planes you like but that motor would be good in a warbird or  almost any  scale plane . Probably keep it under 56" ws. and 6 pounds.Use a 4 cell lipo.and  try a 14x7 prop.

Status: offline 		I was messing with a few numbers with this calc PROGRAM using a 5s battery, 15X8 prop, it says it will have 160 ounces of thrust. So that is about 10 pounds of thrust. If yo uwant it to hover with a good pull out go for a 5 pound plane. If you are just cruising around, anything up to about 8 or 9 pounds.

Status: offline 		The motor is listed as a 1055 Watt motor, or the same as a 42 engine.
746w = 1HP
More useful
100-120 W/LB cruising around
130-150 sport & mild Aero
150-up (Mainly up) 3D

So, a five to seven pound plane should give very good results.
