Default RE: truck motor for airplane?

Quite a few people use Magnetic Mayhem motors (correctly geared) in aircraft.... a Griffin 55A ESC would work with that type of brushed motor.

Just one Motocalc example:

Motor: Kyosho Magnetic Mayhem; 2260rpm/V; 1.37A no-load; 0.0667 Ohms.
Battery: Thunder Power TP2100 (ProLite) (15C); 3 cells; 2100mAh @ 3.7V; 0.018 Ohms/cell.
Speed Control: Castle Creations Pegasus 35P; 0.0015 Ohms; High rate.
Drive System: Direct Drive Propellers; 12x6 (Pconst=1.69; Tconst=1) geared 3:1 (Eff=95%).
Airframe: Anything you want.

Motor Amps = 23.3
Motor Volts = 9.8
Input (W) = 228.9
Loss (W) = 64.0
Motor RPM = 17844
Prop RPM = 5948
Thrust (oz) = 48.6
PSpd (mph) = 33.8
