Default RE: Motor - Prop Selection ???

Thanks Matt... you-dah-man!

Okay, I get it... I understood the 10C was 10xmAH capy, but I was assuming the battery naturally limited it's output to that level as a function of internal resistance or whatever. My bad there.

So, my son flys an AXI 2208/34 on a TP730 turning a 10x3.8... he is pushing it a little at WOT with that setup, right? He "could" burn up that battery if I interpret the charts right. I'm trying to make sense of the AXI charts. Should we downsize the prop to control the current delivery? (I assume this works)

So, clearly to equip this 22 oz bird adequatly, I need 200+ watts, so I need more battery (2000+ mAH w/ 10C capability). I'll look at the Mini-Funtana threads and see what they are using, that's a good suggestion and starting place. Been lloking at the mini-Funtana anyway, so the gear I get for this Extra would move there if I was dissapoiinted (good plan )

Now, on to my next quandry(s)... hope I'm not being a pain .

Gearbox vs. Outrunner? What are the pro's and cons? I love the brushless outrunner for simplicity... why would I select a geared system?
