RE: help choosing electric motor
You need to decide on batts first ... 5S or 6S? Do you want to go 10S later on? If so stick to 5S. But if you want to stick with 50 sized planes then 6S is the way to go ... gobs of power for 3D.
Batt
5S or 6S
3,700 to 4,900
ESC
60A-80A, I like the HpbbyCity Turnigy ones, they work great and have a built in UBEC.
Motor
AXI 4130/16 - 6S
Hacker A50/16S - 6S
Hyperion 4025/10 - 5S
Scorpion 4025/10 - 6S
Chinese 4260 (<600 KV) - 5S
Rimfire 5055/500 - 5S
