I need help on determining the right size brushless motor.
Hey guys Ineed some help here. I am building my own rc electric plane from scratch. It is a foam plane that is designed after a Carl Goldberg Eagle 2. Same size and specs. It weighs about 2-3 lbs. I need a powerful Brushless motor that wont weigh the plane down but will give it plenty of power. I had a Air Field "I think" Cessna 182 foam plane at one time that had a powerful brushless motor and that plane was similar to the size and weight as the plane Ihave built now. I need a brushless motor, ESC, and Lipo set up. I would love to pick up some used parts too if anyone has something that will work. The Plane isa 55" wing span. Idont want to have to fly anything more than 10"prop. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

You can use an AXI 2814/16 or equivalent, with a 10x6 prop, a 30 amp ESC and a 3S lipo battery.

I have a Goldberg Eagle 2 and use a Axi 2826 12 with a 4 cell battery. I needed to add quite a bit of weight to the nose to get the CG correct.
