i also just looked at eflite's website. the park 300 motor weighs 24g vs the axi at 18g. also, the axi spins at 1700 kv and the eflite at only 1380kv.

the park 300 is also recommended for 3-D 6-9 oz so i think the 300 was overkill

the park 250 says 2200kv and for 3-D weights of 4-6 oz, which is the range this plane falls into, but i dont know how it would work considering it is much faster than the recommended motor.

thanks everyone for your help, i come from the school of cars and boats, and got into planes for more of a challenge
