Default RE: brushless motor question

Generally brushless motors are more efficient than brushed. What this means is that if you had motors of equal power (one brushed and one brushless), the brushless will yield a longer run time and run cooler. But because they're more efficient, they are usually just built to be more powerful and use as much or more power than a comparable brushed motor.

Hey, I was wondering which Brushless motor would be good for my Parkzone Focke Wulf 190, I would want a brushless motor that would pretty much double my flying time rather than increasing the spead by a tremendous rate.
