Default RE: KV Rating on Motors

does it make sense to say then,,that simply put,,..the heavier the plane one is flying,,the higher the k.v rating they will probably need..ecspecially if they are going to go the outrunner route...with the drawback being of the higher rating..that the motor will draw more amps..and one will need to make sure their battery pack can handle the draw..as far as lowerr flight time..that can be somewhat compensated for with a little throttle management...for me..id rather go with the higher k.v rating..and have the speed/power there..if and when i want it...
