RE: need help ordering first electric plane
I looked at them on their site and since they use a 300 motor, like my GWS Beaver, and weighs the same, you might look at the Himax 2015/4100 or 2015/3600 motor. With Etec 3s 1200 lipos it takes my Beaver straight up. Goes very good with 2s lipos too. Around 30 minuts run time if I don't go full throttle all the time.
Get a GWS C gearbox for the 4100 and B for the 3600. and 10-8 GWS slowfly prop. Or you can get the combo motor/aluminum gearbox for around $66. Good deal, high quality.
Get a Castle Creations Phoenix 25 esc.
The Berg receivers are excellent and very light weight.
Hitec HS-55 servos would be good.
There is surely other equipment that would do well too, but this setup is what I know about.
