I believe that the Tiny Trainer recommends the Power Pack A, which is an 1806 motor, so
Here is a possibility:

You might also look at maybe some 2204 size motors.

I used this scratch build kit for my TT.

I already have everything but the motor, so won't need a kit: is this a really similar motor? https://totsrc.com/products/a2208-1...-outrunner-brushless-motor-airplane-drone-fpv
Thank you.

It's more than the TT needs, but not ridiculously over sized. The price is right.
my last question is will my 2212 1400kv be way too much
For the first motor you sent, will I have to solder it into the ESC?
did you use the 1800kv or 2600?

Don't remember, I'll have to look at it when I get home this evening.

OK,
I took a look at the ToTsRC page for that motor. I do remember vividly, mine is marked 8T witch, from the pics on the web site, is the 2600.
Alright. Will either get that one... was also peaking around amazon and looking at this one. Smaller size. Thoughts on which one?

Appreciate it. Will get the one on amazon because it's a bit smaller.
(off topic)
Hopefully I'll be able to learn on planes similar to the tiny trainer and then build a mini speedster because it can use most of the same electronics.... I was almost thinking of starting with planes like the mini speedster and the slow flyer because those ones are much easier to build (smaller)

The mini Speedster is a fun, easy build, but it is not a durable plane. I went through a couple before I decided to go slow and big to get more actual stick time in.
The Slow Flyer is quite nice to fly and not a difficult build. You just need to pay attention to getting the wing symetrical and even.

I would not solder the motor directly to the ESC, in most cases you will use bullet connectors on the motor and the ESC. Once soldered on use shrink wrap to cover the bullet connectors, then plug them together. There are plenty of videos out there on how to attach the connectors to the Motor and the Esc.
Here is just one of them:
Bullet connectors come in several sizes, but for this motor I would use a smaller connector, like this one.

I think the Tiny Trainer is the perfect plane to learn on. It actually ended up being my most flown plane once I went from the dihedral wing to the aileron wing.
I went with something like this:

The 1806 size gives me plenty of pep. I use a 6x4E prop and 2S and 3S batteries ranging from 450 to 800mah.
