Flyboy,

I wouldn't really know too much about converting a car electric motor to airplane R/C. I'm sure it can be done, but you would have to delvelop everything. The plane that I have designed uses a cheap 0.15 glow motor (60 bucks new, 30 buck os ebay). Electrics are going to cost many times more than that for a moror, batteries and speed control.

I flew the airplane again last night. I added some differential to the ailerons (one goes up more than the other goes down) and some additional vertical fin (rudder) area and I am much happier with the way it flies. It's very stable and could easily be flown by a noob.

I'm not sure that scaling it down would have the same flying qualities. Smaller airplanes tend to be twitchie.
