Who has any tried suggestions for a motor/prop/battery for the Great Planes Ryan STA EP, other than the suggested Speed 600. I'm interested in Hacker, Astro, Aveox, Razor, Mega etc.

Any of the AXI motors, such as the 2808 or perhaps a bit bigger, would be a good substitute for the bog standard 600. With an 8.5x5 Aeronaut on 8-cells my 2808-20 peaked at 650g (22.9oz) static thrust, at 10350rpm @ 16.5A [~140W]. You could also use a Phasor 15/4 with a 9.5x6 Aeronaut, from which you could wring ~840g (30oz) thrust @30A [~200W].
