Help! FT SPITFIRE NOT FLYING !!!HELP!!!

[Mr NCT]

FT recommends a 2218/1180kV motor so a 2212 is a bit underpowered.

Do you think if I got a 1400kv motor that’s a 2212, will it be ok. I know it might be a little underpowered but will it fly still?

If I got a 1400kv motor instead, would that be able to handle an 8x6? I have a 40amp ESC would that be compatible?

Not a problem with a 1400kv

Ok! Thank you so much! That’s what I’ll do! Thanks for helping me. This is my first build so this helped me a lot.

Will that work with a 40a ESC? I’m new to the hobby and I just don’t want to burn something up.

That will work fine.

The other numbers are A2212/6T

for that motor the prop this is the prop u need 6x4 max. any thing else you are going to run hot.
for the spitfire you need a pack b or c. i run the 2212/6t on all my pusher jet prop

I just bought a 2216 1120KV. I’m gonna stick with my 8x6 props. Thanks!

thank you so much! I just flew my spitfire the farthest and longest it's ever gone. That motor works and sounds great!

You can go to a 9X6 with that motor. The plane will go a little faster. Might not be what you want?

Yeah I noticed it was a bit slow but I’m not going for speed. As I said this is my first 4 channel plane, so I’m still learning. Thanks for telling me though because I might want to pick up the speed in the future!
