Greg,

I have the Magister kit, and am starting to accumulate the mechanicals for it.

I purchased the Kokam 3C 3200 mah (20C discharge rate), and a Himax brushless outrunner motor (the HC3522-0700). I printed the instructions for the motor off the 'net and noticed that it stated it would power planes up to 84 oz for aerobatic flight, but that the recommended accessory was a 35-45 Amp ESC, and a 14.4V LiPoly, capable of 29-40 Amps. Himax makes a similar powered motor (max 400W), the 3522-0990, for aerobatic flight up to 84 oz, which recommends a 45 or 60 Amp ESC and an 11.1V Lipoly, capable of 38-54 Amps.

I'd like to make sure the battery is correctly matched to the motor. I'm concerned that the 0700 recommends the 14.4 Lipo (a 4C which I hadn't seen til I looked it up on the 'net).

Motor (purchased)
HC3522-0700
35-45 Amp Esc
14.4 Lipo capable of 29-40 Amps

Motor (other option)
HC3522-0990
45-60 Amp Esc
11.1 Lipo capable of 38-54 Amps.

Do you think I should exchange the motor or the battery?

Thanks for your help.
