Hi i have just gotten this model but am preferring to opt with the brushless motor that i had instead of the one that comes with the kit, it is a HiMark 2815 motor with a pheonix 25 ESC, with an 11x7 prop, now if i used this motor on this plane, would it be enough to power it well in vertical, and also, using the props supplied with the kit would probabaly burn out the speed controller on that motor wouldnt it?

What props came with the kit? The 350 B drive props would be insufficient for the brushless. Do you plan on flying it on two or three cells. The battery is every bit as important as the motor. The motor i sit HiMark or HiMax?

I also have a new formosa and was thinking of getting an RC smart 1280 outrunner from ebay but i'm not sure how to mount it, any suggestions guys?
