RE: Brushless Setup for Flying Wing
Don't pay for a name when it comes to motors. Try the Tower Pro 2408-21 (BP21) from aeronuts.com or other sites. Combo it with a 30 amp speed controller (more than you need...the motor will draw about 12 to 16 amps) for under $40 as a combo deal. This motor pushes the Stryker very fast but doesn't give it unlimited vertical. Try a 7x6 APC Slow Flyer prop on it and at least a 2000ma 10C 3 cell lipo. Not sure how big your wing is so don't know if these size packs are too big for it. If you want even more power and speed try the 2409-12 (people call it the 12T) motor also made by Tower Pro. It will draw close to 30 amps on an 8x6 APC E prop and thus needs something like a 2200ma 20C 3 cell lipo ($32 from Hextronix...look for a link in the Power Sources forum under "Best Lipo Prices"). As for a charger, I like the Celectra lipo charger. I'd also pick up a Blinky balancing card that will fit most pack's balancing plugs...$25. These motors alone are around $10 to $15. Speed control is around $29.
