Thanx LLRCFlyer. You gave me everything that I was looking for and more. I didn’t realize how deep all of that actually goes, I thought just throw a motor in there and a propeller with a battery and a speed controller and off you go.(exaggerated.) i’m only a few months in, but I have learned a lot with help from experienced people like you.. I would like to post some pictures, but I’m a new member so it will not allow me yet but I will as soon as I can. it is a foam board plane and I finally got it to fly with a 7 inch propeller but drop down to a six and may even drop further to a five because I did end up burning out that motor also so in total three speed controls and two motors on this one. I don’t plan on doing any 3-D with this particular one, I just want to get my flying skills up and my knowledge.. I was also thinking of dropping down to the 2S battery and giving that a shot. Also, this way I didn’t have to replace the motor but looks like I will have to either way, but I have a spare exactly the same. What size motor would you recommend for this?
