RE: KV Rating on Motors
The combo I went with is a 3618 3000KV 4.3:1 planetary geared motor, 45amp CC ESC, and the TP 6000 3S3P battery. It's going in a 3.5 lb 3D plane (that's total flying weight, with all the mentioned stuff included). This should be a fun plane. I've never tinkered with "timing" yet. I guess I'll get some flight time with this set up first.
