Hi all,
I'm just getting into scratch building, and being from Australia, my foamboard is on the heavy side. I'm looking a building a few of the different FT designs and have ordered a power pack b from the FT store and am waiting on delivery. I'm thinking that given my planes will be a bit heavier, I want to get some more power for the larger aircraft (e.g. simple soarer, explorer). Could you please help me determine something suitable for the purpose from Hobbyking? I'm thinking something similar to what is in power pack C. I have very little grasp of electric motors and am basically choosing based on how many grams the motor is, the watts, and the kv. I don't know if they all use a generic spacing of mounting bolts, how important width and length is, etc.
This seems to be the motor included in pack c -

Would something like this from Hobbyking matched with ESC be comparable?
