So one more question. How do i fugure how much thrust my motor has? Do i need to figgure in my prop?

Usually motor have a prop data sheet or you can give a good guess based on motors of similar size and if you motor doesn't get too hot then its not too big. Usually branded motors have a thrust data sheet otherwise sometimes there are YouTube videos where people test the motor to see how much thrust it will make.

My other advice is to NEVER buy NO NAME motors, voltage regulators, or servomechanisms. Just throw the money in the trash, and when the desire to buy bad things passes, take the money out of the bank and buy the good ones.)))

I have bought some no name or brands I have never heard of before and they worked pretty good.....But it's a good idea to stick with name brands like Emax, Flash Hobby, RcinPower, iFlight ect.

Yes it is definitely worth it, it save your electronics and battery in the long run. If you’re worried about drag, use NACA ducts.
