Hi, I'm pretty new to RC, only started about 3 months ago. I bought a WLToys F949 Cessna 182 trainer, that taught me the basics of flying. I'm ready to move on, and I'm building my own plane (a flying wing). However, the electronics just confuse me. I have already bought a transmitter and receiver (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flysky-F...908508&hash=item442c6b5a96:g:uQQAAOSwxdNb3abJ).
However, I have no idea which esc, motor, propeller, servos and battery to go for. There are way too many to choose from and the information out there is just overwhelming and confusing. I have already built the frame of the wing. Dimensions are:
Wing span: 70cm
Root chord: 17cm
Tip chord: 8cm
Sweep: Around 25 degrees
The weight of the plane, even with all the electronics installed, I highly doubt will exceed 300g.
Can someone give me advice on the electronics I should use? It doesn't have to make the plane fast or extreme in any way. In fact I would very much prefer an underpowered plane to an overpowered one that's too fast and hard to control for a noob like me. Any advice on the electronics would be helpful.
