Agreed (somewhat), but his 400 motor won't give him any satisfaction with a 2S pack and his 8 cell ESC won't do anything but smoke on a 3S pack.

A brushless motor can be much lighter and a brushless motor can increase flight times because of its higher efficiency.

I simply reccomended the brushless motor and ESC becasue not only do they really allow you to have more time to enjoy a better flying plane, but if you get a better plane later you can use them in it as well.

If it weren't for brushless motors and li-pos I'd save the electric planes for my kid and beginners.
