flitetests given weight is without battery. so figure 1000g plus depending on build style.. it should fly but will be underpoweredFT recommend Flite Test C Radial or Park 400 Type, 810kV minimum , park 400 is eq. to 2212/10 1400kv (thrust:910g) or 2212/6 2200kv (thrust:732g).
FT does set the Storch to 1.8 lbs (816.46g) .. it will fly, but as other says here, youre better with some more power, for the flying and the components.

Which of this should I use in my very first plane ft storch? And what size prop and esc do you guys suggest? I have 2200 mAh batteries. Thanks a lot
Thanks...lemme search again. I'll be back. 😊It does get confusing. The last motor you posted is listed as 2826 which after looking it up I see is the outside dimensions. Some motors list internal dim and others list external dimensions so it is hard to tell sometimes. The 2826 you listed is still what I would call a b pack motor and is too small. The c pack motors we use are listed as 2218 that is internal. Their external measure is 2836. So unfortunately I think this motor listed is about the same as the first ones. Unless the first were external measurement as well. I didn't look those up. Youll want a motor that will have 1000g or more thrust. And should be about 28mm x 35mm or internal dimension around 22x18. Give or take.
Some of us use a 3536 motor external dim. On a plane that size and love it . Feel free to ask all the questions you need. There is a lot of info out there and it can be fun keeping it all straight

Hi again, been busy, but again searching for a motor locally. Will this motor be suitable for the storch?It does get confusing.

That should do it!Hi again, been busy, but again searching for a motor locally. Will this motor be suitable for the storch?
EMAX GT2215/10 1100KV Brushless Motor
That is the best one you have found yet. It should work. That motor is right between what we would call a b pack (2212) and c pack (2218) motor. All three measured internally. the storch recommends a c-pack motor. If you have a good deal on a local source for that motor, I would try it. worst case, it flies scale and later you may want more power once you are comfortable and use this motor in a different plane later
That should do it!
Hi, I ordered the motor 2215/10... It says it needs a 10x4.7 prop... If I want a 3 bladed prop, what size should I use? I love 3 bladesThanks. I guess I'd better order it while available. Thanks again 😊
Personally I’d start off with the APC 10x5E prop. It’s really durable and will take a lot of hits. Since this is your first plane you’ll probably be crashing a bit. As far as a triblade, get a 9 inch - probably a 9x4.5x3 or something similar - the pitch isn’t too important.Hi, I ordered the motor 2215/10... It says it needs a 10x4.7 prop...
