Default 05 or sp600?

05 and Speed 600 are two different names for the same motor, I believe. These motors are manufactured by Mabuchi, Sagami, or Johnson (I can't remember which) for other purposes. It just happens that they work relatively well in model aircraft.

05 is Master Airscrew
Speed 600 is Graupner

I hope you aren't going to try to fly this airplane by sticking a prop on one of these motors, and loading an old R/C car battery in the fuselage. You'll be disappointed.

To do it right, you will need at least an 8 cell battery, and a gearbox. Not knowing what size plane you're talking about, I can't say exactly what you'll need. The motor definitely won't handle the power required to fly a .40-size glow plane. Hopefully this F6F is in the .15-.25 size range.
