Hi Jack,
Thank you for the information. I will hold off on the spinner purchase since there is one in the box already.
My current plan is to go with the Extreme Flight motor, it has a 570 kv rating, and by running a 15x7 or 15x8 APCE with 5S battery around 4 to 5KmA, should be able to deliver 1+KW, which I hope is enough to fly this plane through advanced schedule. But I am new at electric, for sure not familiar with Hacker A50 12S, eventually I will consider getting a software like MotoCalc to help me figure out different setup, but for now, the EF motor/ESC is the main candidate. Any comments or suggestions?
Kevin
Kevin,
I think you're on the right track with that motor, I don't know enough about the physical size so I can't say it's a direct bolt-on replacement but the kv rating is what I'd want for 5S. I think you might want a more agressive prop (pitch) but you can always do that later, I am flying with a 17 x 10 APC currently but don't suggest you go that big, perhaps just more pitch on your 15 (forget what you know about glow, it doesn't really equate to electric as far as prop selection goes)...
Jack
