RE: What elelc motor for .40 trainer?
If you want to get specific...HK perhaps? I see brushless motors for under $15, got one for my 450 heli for $11.70 (3500kv outrunner) But for that they list what they're for so I could pick from a few.
For the plane I'm totally lost. Went to an indoor elec fly in outside cleveland back in december and wow, the world of e-flight has changed sooo much from when I was last involved.
The lipos I have on hand are 3S 1100mah, 3 s2200mah and some smaller ones. I doubt the 1100 is good for a plane. The 2200 may be a bit small for flight time but would get me going for cheap.
I have a 60a esc in the heli -overkill but everyone was out of stock on the preferred 40a ones, so I plan to get a 40 and can move the 60 (it's got a heat sink so figure it's better inside a fuse than the completely sealed ones for helis, plus planes probably are not at full throttle or close like a CP heil is so there's more heat to dissipate)
I wasn't too sure about the cheap chinese clone parts but they do work.
