Default Which motor?

Hi.

I'm building my second airplane, which is a cap 232, the wingspan is around 46''. And I wonder which motor I should use to get it a little 3d capable?

Thanks

That's light. I would think a Webra 32 or 35 would do wonders for it

If it stays together it should be awesome!! I am flying my own design of a SPAD plane right now that comes in at 2lbs. 2oz. all up and I use a norvel .25. Its kickbutt for hover and harriers.

I guess it is around 1 kg. I don't have the stuff at home, but I have looked in some stores where I planed to buy the things and calculated how much it weight.

And here is what it weight, the airplane it self whey around 350-400g, servos around 40g etch, receiver 30g, battery around 200g, and fuel 200g, and some other things around 100g.

So I guess its around 1 kg if I didn’t forget something.

A OS 32sx sould be a good engine to do some 3D. I agree with edible_engine.
