hi folks,

i guess this question may have already been asked before, but i am too tired to search 

i wanted to know about the different types of motors and other important parts used on electric planes. i have no idea what inboard or ourboard motors are. what difference brushed or brushless motors make along with how motors are rated (vold/kva, etc.)

i am considering getting a real cheap electric plane like the multiplex easy star.

id appreciate if someone helped me out with the info of suggested another thread on the same.

thanks and cheers
