Park Equivalent to Brushless size

[SSgt Duramax]

Forever I had seen thrown around "park equivalent" and "park 250" or so on for quite a while and I didn't really know what it meant. After some searching, I found that it harkened back to the brushed canned motors. But I had always wondered what the "park equivalent" to say a 2217 or a 1806 would be, and I had a hard time finding answers even on here.

I found this chart to be quite helpful, and if this has been posted, please forgive me, but it was an eye opener.

Back In the day........ park flying was inside a baseball diamond so a small agile light plane. A park 250 would be the rough equivelant of a flite test "A" "F" system, lets say less than a 5 1/4-4 prop OR a .020 gas motor, perhaps 1/2 pound thrust. There's a 400 on my 3ft span slow stick, but it's hard to fly that inside the diamond and there would be no park equiv to a 1806 or 2217 unless it was a heli

It would be nice if there was a simple chart to use as a guide with a range of motors in the classes that FT uses. A chart setup with A , F, B , C motors etc with the recommended props and battery sizes.

Someone did just that a year or so ago, but it was in the middle of an obscure thread instead of being its own thread. Needs to be redone and made a sticky

Yes it would be a great idea specially for newbies just to give folks an idea of what motors fit into the classes that fit.

Why doesn't someone find that chart, post it in here, then ask for it to be stickied?

No, I voluntold/delegated. Learned that skill in my years of government work. Some call it passing the buck, but we are trying to be more PC these days.

How very diplomatic of you. I would just say "Me? No. Because buzz off that's why."

I actually did look for the chart and I couldn't find it.
