Hi,
This my first post to this forum. I am in Canada but have the same issues as the US newbies.
I purchased a HK Bix3 ARF. I selected the electronics based on HK recommendations and to my disappointment couldn't get the plane off of the ground.
I went with the 2728-1000 kv motor with an 8x5 prop. The original Turnigy AE-25A ESC started on fire as soon as I hooked it up to the battery so I purchased a Turnigy 40A programmable ESC. All this is run by a OrangeRx 6 channel Rx with an internal gyro for corrected flying.(which doesn't work)
My question is does a pusher motor need more power than a puller? What should I look at for a motor that will give some speed as well as control?
How do you decide on a motor for a plane??
