Default RE: CAP 232 40

Hi,
That battery is way too big for a <1lb plane, get a 1200mah 3s pack

I have never used the gearbox motors, my best recommendation is a simple 20-20L outrunner equivalent, light, simple, powerful.

My setup for all the pro, super and parkjets is:

20-20L equivalent outrunner motor, 25amp esc, 10x4.7 or 11x4.7 prop, 1200mah 3s pack, small light rx, hs55 equivalent servo's.

Examples
