Default RE: testing motors for sutability?

Do you have something to measure current draw? Several different size props? Various batteries? We'll need more info also about the plane you're thinking of. It's hard to say much about a motor just based on voltage, but you know you'll need ten-cell packs (or higher) just to run the 10-volt motors you have. Got a plane that can handle forty cells, or a 12-series li-po pack? If not, you know the 40-volt is out.

Good luck,

Steve
