Hi,
I suggest you to use search engine available on this fora and do some research, and be specific on your question.
Just by seeing details of your Elec., no body can suggest.

Any ways it's your choice which model you want to build.

Selecting power setup for a plane is easy but selecting plane model for a power setup is tough..It may be over powered or under powered..
For foam models browse scratch built foamies section in www.rcgroups.com
for coro models browse www.spadtothebone.com

first get an estimate of AUW of the model you plan to make and then plan to use a motor which can lift that,
or find the approximate weight of the plane the motor would lift effortlessly and then stick to some specific materials to get in and around that target weight.

hi happysoul74

i am using this motor on my Phantom Super 210 glider/trainer. u can find link in my signature.

if u want to build trainer from coro or thermocol, hav wingspan of around 30"-32". ESC is OK but i think 25A would be better, battery is too big, i am using 500-1000 mAh, 2300 mAh will be too heavy and discharge is very low, only 5c. also for 1000 mAh battery discharge should be around 20C, so that will be able to supply atleast 15A!!!
7" Prop is too big for this high Kv motor try using 5x4 or 6x3 dont use bigger than 6"
abt AUW stay below 300-320gms

wish u all the best for ur model!!!

let me know if u need some more help!!!

cheers
