Hi folks,

I recently purchased a 50" Cub from Nitroplanes which I haven't yet received (http://www.nitroplanes.com/piperj3cub15.html). I don't have any experience with this company or ARF's in general, but the price seemed very reasonable so I bought it, I'll let you know what the quality is like when I get it.

Either way, I was thinking of putting an electric motor in this thing, but I don't have much experience with electric motor systems, brands, etc. The only information the website gives is "480 electric motor", and from what I have read in the forums on this type of ARF, I am not going to get much of an instruction book with this thing either. Not sure if the motor can be brushless, outrunner, etc. Also, there is a myriad of different brands of motors and ESC's at different price points, and there is always the question of the appropriate size of battery to use (say for 10 minutes of flight.) I do have a LiPo charger so I would consider that type of battery.

I would appreciate any recommendations on the electric set-up for this plane
