As for engines, I am looking at an outrunner by e-flite, mpi or hi-maxx, or go with a rimfire? From what others are saying on other posts, I would probably go with a e-flite 20 amp speed controller.

as for batteries, maybe a kokam 3 cell or 2 cell 700 mah li-po, or e-tec 3s1p 700 mah, is the greatplanes batteries any good?

thanks
The Himax Outrunners are on sale here at www.bmkdesigns.net and I would go with a 3-cell over a 2-cell battery. I have not heard to much about the Greatplanes batteries but most of the cheaper batteries seem to only be 5c. I would go with Kokam, E-Tec or Thunderpower for the battery.

BTW I have a 16 ounce plane running on a Himax 2812-1080, a 3-cell 1320 TP, APC 10x4.7 prop, and get 15 minutes. Mostly wide open and plenty of power
