Default RE: Burning up motors! What gives?

I went back and looked at the set-up. I had "ASSUMED" it was the same as I had ordered as a set. I put this plane together for my son who is a 3D nut,no offense. I found out he had changed the ESC and prop. The prop was a 12-4 off another 3D plane he had and was put up there for "prop hang". Just a little too big I think. The right ESC was long since burnt up. He , and I guess me too, didn't realize the complications of mixing your componets. I tend to order my electric set-ups in a package and didn't think of them being mixed when I assembled them. Live and learn. By the way. What set-up would be the recommended for a Dualsky Challenger, A small bipe made of flat stryo and carbon leading edges and cross braces? I will see if I can find a link of the plane. The thing has been diss-continued and is not listed on 2 Dog RC web-site any-more. I found it on here in the reviews
