So I just finished assembling my FT Spitfire (some minor hiccups, but it still looks good). I purchased the LazerToyz Beef Combo as suggested and it came with:
EMax GT2215/09 motor
Sky III 20A ESC
9x6E prop
1600mAh 11.1v 25c battery
I powered on the electronics and spun up the propeller while holding the plane up. The motor cuts out at max power and surges. It seems like it's hitting the max amps for the ESC and cutting out. Doesn't seem right if it was the recommended combination for this speed build.
I used the eCalc and came up with this information:

The amps are around 17.8, but with the 35c burst, it could be causing it to surge.
Whatcha guys think??
