Now that I'm comfortable with my FT Flyer, I'm upgrading to an FT Delta and I'm building a Spitfire. Naturally, the recommended motor on the Spitfire is larger and carries more thrust but I'm still a bit confused on how kV plays into the equation. HobbyKing provides nice statistics on battery to prop to thrust ratios but I want to know more.
For example, I have a Turnigy Park300 1600kV motor on my FT Flyer. Not a ton of thrust but it flies. The Spitfire recommends a Park450 with 1300kV. Quads typically come in around the 750kV range. Does lower kV = more thrust? They have lower revolutions per volt but does that mean more torque?
Confused.
