Default Great Planes slinger

I have the slinger i am wanting to upgrade to a brushless set up? does great planes make a motor and esc for this wing? Will the stryker setup fit this wing. everything i have read or most of it says to go with the fun 400 well my wallet says not too.

thank you for any advice in advance.

Will this setup work on this wing?

I have had really good luck with Turnigy motors, which are a lot cheaper. This one looks like it is close to the same specs, but you'll need to confirm the selection:

You could also buy a Turnigy ESC :

If you read the product reviews at the HC website, people give detailed information as to what combinations they are using, and what planes they are flying with the equipment. As far as I have seen, the information seems pretty accurate.

Good luck

The one trick with buying from this company is to get everything you need into one order, to economize on shipping. Make sure you get all of the Deans plugs, bullet connectors, shrink tubing, etc. that you think you might need. I have also had great luck with the Rhino lipo packs they sell, so throw a couple of those into your basket as well. If you have a decent sized order, and use the EMS shipping, you get your stuff pretty fast, and save a bunch of money.

Good luck
