RE: GP Electrostreak
I think a 30 amp ESC is a bit short for that motor. I'd go with a Castle Phoenix 45 or one of their new Thunderbirds, the 54. The Thunderbirds are less expensive even in that size. It doesn't hurt to have a larger than recommended ESC. Sometimes it's preferable. I have a Super Dimona, a 95in. motorglider with a 2820/10 and I have an 11x7 APC electric prop on it. That's because of prop clearance. The guys at Hobby Lobby recommended a 12x6E prop. My batteries are Polyquest 3700mah 3cell packs. They're a bit pricey at $114 but they are on sale at that price. Look around. For a charger, I have 2. One is an Astro 109 with the updated chip and the other is an FMA Cellpro 4. My favorite is the Cellpro. It's a balancing charger that sells for around $70 and charges and balances the pack. It does this through the balancing tap and adapters are available for the different packs since there is no standard for balancing taps. One adapter will charge Polyquest and Thunder Power, there's another for Apogee and so on. Adapters sell for about $10 each. The charger works beautifully and is available at fmadirect.com. The newest version also charges A123 batteries.
As to wire winds, I'm not knowledgable. I do know that outrunners are torque monsters and usually use large props. They do not turn at real high speeds. With the 600 motor I used, the Magnetic Meyhem, I used an 8x4 folding prop.
