Brushless setup for GP Slinger WS: 48
Hi
Can someone please recommend a suitable brushless setup for the Great Planes Slinger flying wing WS: 48 inches? It comes stock with brushed 400 type of a motor and I am interested in converting it to a brushless setup with EXTRA punch for easy hand launching. Link for the plane as follows:

I have experience in outrunners and electric brushless setup in general but not in direct drive application, so need some guidance with the a reasonably price motor and appropriate prop to go with it.
Thanks for the help in advance.

RE: Brushless setup for GP Slinger WS: 48
Here is a cheap but good hop-up (more than twice the power of a brushed 400): 72g Suppo A2217K/6 (~1500kv). www.lightflightrc.com On 3s with a 7x7 APC Sport it gets you this:
10.8v, 21.20A, 227W, 13110rpm, 86.9mph, 757g, 26.66oz, 3.34g/W
You have better than 1:1 thrust:weight, and with a larger diameter prop than the can 400 could ever spin... a lot of extra punch.
At $18.95 for the motor and $16.95 for the 30A ESC... what a bargain!

I looked up the motor but its out of stock. I'll see if I can find a similar motor. Do you think an outrunner would be a better choice than an inrunner type of a motor? I do have a few outrunners similar to the ones you mentioned but didnt consider them in favor of an inrunner. Thanks for the help.
