I posted about using the Super Cobalt 400 motor that came with the Wattage brand , Pitts that I'm working on. I was also asking about using the "KMS"
31/21 brushless instead. Well, I took some of your advice and bought a Tanic 3 cell, 1550 mah, I think it is. It's only 4 oz as opposed to the 7 cell NICAD weighing 9 oz. The plane weighs in at about 20-21 oz without motor or motor battery. The KMS 31/21 is beginning to look rather wimpy to be hauling around the 25 oz , plane and battery. The cobalt is 3.8 oz plus another 1.7 , if I use the gear unit that has been suggested. A lighter brushless with more power would be nice. What would be a good motor, controller and prop for my application? I want it to have some zing and still not melt the fuse and look like it has a smoker installed. I have a Hobby People down the street so it would be a plus if they carry it, not to mention that I have things that need to be returned. Thanks- posted
