Well just to revive this thread and because I am about to have to deal with this question: I'm going to go budget on the power set up with this plane because the learning curve will be steep and cost is a factor. Once I know what I'm doing a little more I'll upgrade but for now, if you were ordering the entire power system from HK, what ESC, motor and battery would you order to fly this plane through Advanced? I've spent quite a bit of time looking and doing some research and have come up with a list but am interested in what others think other than "don't do this".. I am planning on an ESC that has some room left in it and will not be running right at max capability at any time. I'll be ordering in the next couple of weeks and hope to fly the plane in the next 4 weeks. I am planning on using the motor mount sold by Hobbico that has been used by several on this plane, hope I won't have to do much if any mods, want a motor that will bolt right up if possible. This will give me 2m planes with a 4 stroke, a 2 stroke and electric. It will be interesting to see which one I like best as all three are good designs.
