Thanks very much again opjose.
So, what do you recommend for the motor for this plane?
They are listed Hyperion HP 2213/16 and I have problem to find them. They are discontinue.
Very appreciate for your feedback.

Here is how I would configure it....

I would use this motor: [link=http://www.nitroplanes.com/mo258brmo.html]Click me![/link]

Though Nitro is out of them at the moment, they seem to frequently restock them. I purchased 2 of them and 2 of the Monster Power 32's a couple of weeks ago.

I would run two 14.8v 3850mAh LiPo packs one for each ESC.

I would install two 45A+ ESC's.

Why 45? As you increase the voltage to 14.8v, the total current capacity drops, so purchasing a 45A+ ESC assures you will not blow up the ESC.

Then prop the system to pull about 37-40 full throttle.

That will give you about 550 watts per motor.

That's 166 watts/lb so you have plenty of power and great flight times!
