The ST at SEFF flew with a Hacker C50 12XL, 8S2P Thunderpower Pro-lites and a 20x13 APC E prop.

This plane will come in around 10 pounds, so the 4130 will not do it. Well.....it will, but will turn this plane into a sport flyer. To fly 3D and pattern it needs around 1500 watts. That is in the territory of a 5330 on 10S. A 5320 would do it on 8S, with around 120 watts per pound. Just not the best solution in my opinion.

A Cylcon 160 outrunner on 8S swinging a 21" prop will yeild around 1500 watts at around 50 amps. This would be a good option. I run a dual Cyclon 160 setup in an 87" Yak that weighs ~15 pounds and it yeilds almost 3800 watts. www.atlantahobby.com is the importer of these motors.

I have a C50 12Xl and an 8S that I want to throw in the showtime. I hope that it remains on track for release in the next couple of months.
