1-FC 28-12 Brushless Outrunner 1534kv.
2-Mystery 20A Brushless Speed Controller (Blue Series).
3-EM 9g / 1.5kg / .12sec Micro Servo.
4-Turnigy 1800mAh 3S 20C Lipo Pack.
5-7x4 prop.
6-Hobby King 2.4Ghz 6Ch Tx & Rx V2 (Mode 1)
as im a beginner,pl also let me know the weight issue?also the correct position at which the motor is to be mounted?

keep the RTF weight of ur plane around 500 gms..
8 inch prop can also be used for better thrust .....
why EM 9?? you are paying more for the product and shipping weight is more, Instead go for HXT 900... Consider buying the radio controller locally as most of them are being held up in customs.
dont forget the connector the these to your list
3.5mm gold connector,
XT-60,
a meter of 4 mm heat shrink

4-Turnigy 1800mAh 3S 20C Lipo Pack.
As per me 1800mah is very big for a 500g plane and will add unnecessary weight of atleast 50 gms...
if possible try to use 800~1000mah
thnk you all for your help......
also tell me the correct position for mounting motor....
Hi... please let us know the plane that you intend to put these electronics on ...only then can a fair judgement be made ..... also, I suggest to go in for a Mode 2 Tx as this is what is popular among people in India .... it helps as others can help you learn to fly ....
thnks sir for showing concern to my query.....actually im planning to build a plane frm chloroplast sheet...pl if you can sggest any ideas regarding design and weight issues of the plane....also enlighten me with the concept of mounting motor properly?????
thnks......
Check this out, it should help you with designing:

And here's a simple coroplast design:
http://indiahobby.blogspot.com/p/free-plans.html
for mounting the motor..
u can use a generally available ply of 3-4 mm. thickness..
and a wood stick....
join both these with fevicol or any other good adhesive ..
Keep both ply and stick perpendicular to each other..
or u can place some angle between both if required....
u can use fevitite rapid , bondtite rapid for aluminium ,wood....
nice link swapnil....
saw first time....
I tried a lot a designs for that, and realized that a motor mount is the best way to go.
Because if the motor and prop vibrate or are skewed then it will crash the aircraft, which will either break your prop, mount or fuselage, it can even bend the shaft. ( i have had all those happen to me).
Would you really want that?
you could use these for reference
