Prop- 12*6

Any other setups..?
Comments and suggestion are welcomed

Aniket, I have been following this build with interest.

I think the motor you have referenced is overpowered; it will be a battery guzzler and you would need 4000 mAH of LiPo capacity for a 10 minute flight (read 450-500 grams or so) on 3S; less on 4S

What are your model specs? Type of model (Sport, Trainer, Aerobatic, 3D) Span, expected or designed AUW? Without this info it is not possible to figure out a suitable motor/prop combo.

BTW a 3536 - 1400 motor is equivalent to a 20 Nitro

A 3542-1200 is equivalent to a 25

@Rai Sir- Its a Trainer.
            Wing span- 1400mm
            fuse length- 1100mm

expecting approximately 2kg AUW.

Is the motor ok now...?

I'll get back to you tmrrw. 2 kg is a lot for a model of this size

The details is here for the plan & rest discussion.

And if it is an electric model, HK donky 3007 will be fine with a 30-50A ESC and 2200mAH 25-30C battery with 920gm thrust.
I will prefer 10x4.7 SF prop with 50A red brick ESC with the battery above for a fine tuned power system.

Good luck.

Thanks kalyan sir

I really would suggest you consider glow for this model. A .20~.25 would be dandy with a 9*6 prop

Hi aniket ...how will you cover those wings...coro or covering sheets...??

Hi EricOliver,.....Red covering film

@Rai Sir- Any reason to go with glow?.... ...why not electric?
