So I'm nearing the completion of the FT Storch build (applause...) So, I was testing my electronics and I nearly killed my Leopard Hobby LC2826-12T 1380kv with a 9x6 prop. Got it all the way up to 25A (max for motor is 18) and I smelled something so I shutdown immediately. Seems like I saved it for now. The recommended prop is 8x4.3 which should put out 178W @ 11.1v.
OR... Should I swap that out for my Park 480 1020kv with a 10x7 (says can do all the way up to 12x6). It supports 22A continuous and 28A burst. I have a Turnigy 30A ESC which I'll keep in there for now and check the temp if I set it all up (I have some 40A's I can use if I need to). This motor can put out upwards of 275W, but I don't want to OVERPOWER the plane either - I'm still a newbie to all this.
Lastly, I also have 2 Emax Mt2213 935kv 2212 Brushless Motors which appear to be rated for 18A with the included 1045 props. I can't find wattage output, but I was also kinda saving these for a dual-motor build since they're matched.
OK, I'm all ears!
(I won't mention my 3 2200kv motors that can't go much above a 6" prop; I know those won't work )
