Im building my first Electric plane from scratch. I will be making it off the Twin Pond Master Plans off of RC Model Aircraft Planes. It recommends two 400 Speed motors. Now for batterys etc... What will I need. What will I need speed control wise. What will I need in order to hook bolth of the engines up togother etc..

anyone? how do I run two electric engines? same battery etc someone explain a setup for a 400 speed.

no advice?

You probably won't like it, but my advice is not to build that plane right now.

I am assuming you have never flown an RC plane before - is that correct? If so, starting with a self built airplane from plans and a twin engine to boot is a very bad idea. There are too many things you need to know to build a good plane - it is hard enough to get your first kit build right. Also, you are going to do a lot of crashing before you learn to fly, especially on a plane that is not perfectly set up and is too fast. Better to learn to fly on a cheap RTF

Im assuming you are an experienced flyer, if so running a twin should not be a problem.

Unfortunatly, I have never tryed running two electric motors so Im not exactly sure how they would hook up.
I would think that both motors would be run into a single speed controller, capable of a rather large amperage rate. Not positive though. I dont think you can connect two speed controllers to a single reciever. Most likely you would need to run a Y adapter from the speed controller so that leads go to each motor. And then it would run off a single battery.

This is of course just my guess, Im sure someone on here has run dual motors before.

Ill ask the experts here, and get an answer back to you as soon as I can.

Im a experinced glow pilot. Wrong assumption. Electric setups are confusing me wiring engines and such. All I am wondering is what setup should I look at. Brushless motors etc? escs?
