I made a p51 from scratch using josh’s plans and after crashing my trainer and wrecking the motor I haven’t been able to find a good replacement so I made a far lighter plane with my own measurements using the old ft techniques in hopes of using the “1300 Kv” I do have. I have a 30amp ESC and 1100mah lipos after this motors dead. can anyone recommend a better one for this setup or good batteries? All my stuff came out of a skyartec cessna I got off facebook that I couldn’t get working after the original owner crashed it so I put the electronics in the old ft trainer/glider and it worked really good until I crashed it trying to avoid a tree lol

Flite test radial motors would work good if you want to spend that much.

I’m not satisfied with Chinese motors so far so if you think it’s worth it I’ll get a couple and see how it works out thank you for the reply

Welcome to the forums.You would need to do yharnesses then yharness those together until you get a single connecter to plug into your reciever. That will be a awesome project be sure to post it.
