Default motor question

I'm pretty new to the airplane hobby but i can fly decently. i have a question.

approximately what size brushless motor is a 370 size brushed motor? i'm looking for a replacement motor and speed control for the parkzone super decathlon. i've been looking at the hobbyking brands and have heard pretty good reviews on them.

What does your airplane weigh, including the battery?

i would say it weighs about 16 oz or 450 grams with battery. i got this off the parkzone website. i don't have a scale that can weigh out the plane that is that light. but it should be under 20 oz.

Use the above link to find the motor that will likely work. I would recommend a 15-20 amp speed control.
