Default What plane?

OK guys here is what I have. I got a ultrafly c/13/33 3,350kv outrunner and a electrilfy silver series 35amp ESC and 4 e-flite s-75 servos, and I have 2 lipo's 1 is a thunder power 1850mah 3cell and the other is a 2100mah 3 cell. What plane should I get im thinking of something along the lines of the turmoil. I want something realy inexpensive that 3D's great! Will my motor even work? Im used to nitro planes so im not to good with electrics. Thanks everyone

If you check out Ultrafly's web site it gives all the info you need on your motor and others. They recommend it's use for sports models in the 500-800g range, 1Kg gliders ( both with gearboxes ),or Helicopters, so it's probably not idealy suited for a shockie type of plane, although perhaps still worth a try on a suitable gearbox, but with a smaller battery than those you quote.
I have the Ultrafly c/13/28H in the Thunder Tigre 'Velocity' flying wing on a 5"*5" prop, 2220mAh 3S Lipo, direct drive and that plane really moves[X(]. This originally came out of their Ultimate bipe which is now thankfully deceased!!!

Turmoil would be way too small. Fliton would be great.

Would be my choice. Big set up in my opinion.

According to Ultrafly's info, your motor needs to be going thru a 3:1 gearbox and turning an APC 9"x6"E, or 9"x7.5"E prop on a 3s Lipo for a sport model weighing between 500-800g. If you use a 3.89:1 'box with an APC 10"X5"E or 10"x6" folding prop on a 3s Lipo, then this would be good for a 1Kg Hi-wing plane or glider.
Hope this info is helpful and doesn't muddy the waters even further[:@]

check the airfoilz planes out.. www.airfoilz.com I know you wanted "inexpensive" and the prices aren't bad on these planes. You will like the yak for hovering real easy. Check out the videos!
