Will this work in a .40 size plane
HELP!
I have a motor w/ gear box and 14x7 prop from some paraplane RTF kit. The motor is a Speed Works Blue Print Series. I found a paraplane on ebay, same thing but different make of motor, so I guessing there close.
Motor: Mabuchi RS 540VH
Propeller: 14x7
Gear ratio: 3.8:1
7.2 volt battery pack
How big of plane (mild aerobatics) will this fly? With what size battery? I'm thinking it would be fun to replace the HB .40 in a modified Sig Kadet or maybe even in a larger .40 size Hanger 9 Cub ARF thats been setting in the corner of shop.
Thanks,
Mark

Definitely not enough for a true ".40-size" plane. That power system is best suited to a 2 meter sailplane, or maybe something in the .15-.25 glow power range, but it would have to be something slow like a Lazy Bee or Slow Poke.
