This is a twin motor 61"span Electric Powered low wing monoplane

It is being adapted to Corro instead of the original Balsa

Thanks Manoj

The design says 6 lbs 12 oz, or about 2 Kg

I'm targetting 2.1-2.2 Kg

That will give me a Wing Loading of 17 oz/sq ft, or a WCL (Wing Cube Loading) of 8.2; sport model

Suggested suitable values for WCL are:

Gliders   -   under 4
Trainers   -   6 to 7
Aerobatic   -   9 to 10
Scale   -   12 to 13
Racers   -   15 and over

Sorry, typo. As per design, weight is 3 Kg

Sir,
Its coming out good. Fuse will be red / white ?

What is the propeller size you are planning on this.
And did you find a way to have RPMs same for both motors ?

Thank you Saurabh

Fuse will be blue,as that is the only thicker corro I have ;)
I will be using 10 X 4.5 contra-rotating e-props

I have used two independent ESC's, powered by a single LiPo. I hope that will be reasonably accurate. The ESCs are the same brand/capacity etc.

That set me thinking...
Two similar ESCs, or one double capacity ESC to both motors?
Which would be better?
I don't have the theoretical knowledge to answer that.

I'm sure you'll try both and give us a real world answer...

A single ESC can be used to drive two motors. The only advantage of having two ESC's is that one can use the difference in thrust of the two engines to make turns.
(Using dual rates). Practically, one esc would be just fine.

Would need dual throttles. Or some complicated control system/mix
