RE: Slow stick Forum!!
Luv2 - your frind is right in a way, there's nothing wrong with that motor and its rated at 160W, you can get away with 120 to 160W to get great performance. He's right about the prop, the Kv is 1080Kv so you want a largish prop (9/10 x 4/5) to give the required thrust. That Himax (good motors) is at the top end of the performance table and is a bit pricey. I run the cheaper E-max equivalent 2822 1000Kv that swings a 10 x 5 APC prop or a folding prop (unbreakable!!). The choice is yours. Also if funds allow get a Wattmeter that will give you all the nitty gritty. Oh, the beauty of my motor and the TowerPro type is thaat if anything happens and you need to change at the flying field it can be done in 30 seconds (2 Allen screws).
