RE: Need Basic Training!
Hi,
Your first question is "What are the brown thingies soldered onto the motor?" These are ceramic disc capacitors. Generally you use two or three capacitors on the motor to help suppress radio interference. The size is generally somewhere around 47nF, but doesn't have to be exact. The configuration is usually to place one end of the capacitor to a wire terminal and the other soldered on the can. Do this for both sides. Then a third, optional, capacitor can be used to tie the terminals together. You can pick these up at Radio Shack.
To attach a propellor you will need some type of prop adapter. I think the shaft size on your motors is 2.3mm, but I could very well be mistaken. Optionally, you could use a gearbox. Make sure you buy the right adapter for the gearbox, most have slightly different size shafts.

Close to the bottom of the page is a chart showing the graupner motors, watts out, prop size, etc. Identify your motor # in the table above it to look up your characteristics.
I don't have an answer on your Tigermoth. Maybe, maybe not. Depends a lot on wing area, weight, etc. Good luck.
