Hi All,
This Air truck is a slow flyer. I like slow flyers as a beginner, so started building the same.
This is done using 5mm caro and ready plan. slightly I made some changes to this plan.

5mm Coro? What is your target AUW? Will the electronics be able to fly this bird ??? If it flies slow enough for a complete plane noob (read me ;D ) would you please share the plans? From the looks of the airframe, it may tend to be tail heavy. Best of luck!

Well, for a plane of this size ( from the pics, it does not seem to be a very small plane) 1000 KV won't suffice. Go for atleast 1800 KV. The prop size and servos what u chose seems to be all right. Plus, ESC will change if u change the motor. I fell 35 Amp Esc will be required. here.
From the pics, it seems to have a span of about 1200 mm plus minus
How much is the span and AUW? . that will help you decide the motor, prop and esc.

Aditya.
Thanks for the comments. Will try the suggested motor.
the wing span is 36"
One can see the video and download the plan here http://rctestflight.webs.com/airtruckv2.htm

Did you use a wing spar? If you haven't flown it yet, consider using a spar (wooden, Alluminium or CF) or the wings may flap or flutter.
