yes the motor you finalised is capable of 500g but you should see the speed, because the kv is low hence the prop required will be bigger size and hence less speed.

ved · February 13, 2011, 01:36:53 PM

I m using 9 x 6 prop. Is it OK ?

ved · February 21, 2011, 09:59:26 PM

Hi Guys,
A simple Question.
Which is the best motor that can take a weight of around 1.3Kg which can be bought from LHS.

ved · February 21, 2011, 10:17:15 PM

Come on Guys

jagjit · February 22, 2011, 12:27:58 AM

Folks Do we have any guideline as to what motor should be choosen for a specific plane and what ESC to be used along with it, this will help all the folks who are interested in building their own plane

@jagjit - You really missed the Gems threads for beginners ! There are great threads in that list about how to choose electric power combos.

rcpilotacro · February 22, 2011, 07:39:05 AM

contact Mr Sai,

My son is using this motor, must have crashed his foamie like 50 times head on, still works fine, this is a combo , you get 20 a ESC. 1350 rs
