I am planning on building my first rc plane , it would be an EDF plane with 70mm edf unit , the amount of thrust I want from it should be between 800g - 1200g ( could be more but then i hv to use 5s-6s lipos dont wanna do that ).
I need to know what would be the right motor for it a 1400kv , 2800kv , 3300kv or something else ??
Estimated plane weight near about 650g-700g

i dont want to use more than 4s lipo on it , can someone help me
the EDF UNIT:

my plane design would be similar to the attached pic ( similar not exact , just reference )

A first plane should be more of a high wing trainer rather than an EDF jet . EDF's are very tricky to fly , I suggest you try building a trainer model instead .

no no im not gonna fly it i just want to build it , i hv a friend he is an excellent flyer he will fly it , he has many trainer planes ( bought from Art-Tech ) , currently  i m flying his slowstick , im just a rookie at flying :D
i just want my plane to be crash proof ( seen many ppl break there propellers on landing ) , in EDF the roter and propeller is on safe side as it is covered .

Having a pusher config similar to the AXN jet may help you save your propeller :)
