Default RE: Need help for prop size on electric motor

Hey Gene,
A good tool to use is [link=http://drivecalc.de/]DriveCalc[/link]. It's free and is constantly updated with motor info. You can put in the motor, the type of battery and then select a prop and see what kind of thrust and speed it will deliver. I use it will all of my Brushless conversions. Do you know what size battery you want to use? Number of cells? How heavy do you estimate the plane to be?
