ive already build the zero from this post

but i cant fly the plane just dive down, when i throw with hand even when its full throtle, i think the plane is too small for my electronics, cause its so hard putting all my electronic in the fuselage, especially the esc is so big, so im trying to build sea plane, the simple cub with float, or the sea otter, but the plans is too big i think, and my battery is so small 900mah and the props too just 6045, when the rec is using 9x45, how much should i small it down the plans so its can match perfectly with my electronic? 800mm wing span is enough or its need much smaller ?
There are 2 Zero's in that post. Which one did you build? If it's the smaller one then your motor, prop, and battery are okay but that 40A ESC is too big and going to cause CG and over all weight problems. The build plans call for a 12A esc which is tiny. Have you tinkered with the CG to see what happens?

so you suggesting i buy another motor and props? can you tell me what size for the motor and props you recomend? and for the battery which cappacity should i build, and if im still using that electronics, if i want to build from P47 master series, how much percentage i should scale it down?
The problem you are having with this motor combo is you Kv rating is to high for that size of motor for what we run. You have a B Pack sized motor that has double the amount of Kv. On 3s that will mean you will be stuck with 6" props or less, which are to small for the size of plane you need to carry the weight.

The solution would be to go with 2s, that way you can run 8-9" props on a medium sized plane. Now if you get batteries to match this set up, when you buy other motors that will be better suited to the planes you want to fly then the batteries will have to change to 3s. Really that kit you have with the electronics is a $20 kit you can find on Bangood easy enough. I got one of the same that was 2212 1400kv which is more suited to what we need to fly stuff.

If you want to use this kit as is I would put it in something like a flying wing like the Arrow or even the FT -22, Alpha, or Vector. A warbird will be difficult to find unless you feel like upscaling a Mini or down scaling a standard size plane. I upscaled MiniacRC P-47 and it worked out great for this size of motor at 1400kv on a 1800mah 3s battery. You could use the same capacity on a 2s and get close to the same result.

Other then that I would stay away from these kits, its a case of you get what you pay for. People tend to jump on these kits for the price, until you fly them and the electronics fail just because they are cheap. Next time you might want to either get it all in one package with kits that FT offers or by sourcing your own electronics separately from online sites. I like to shop Bangood and Aliexpress for my goods, depending on where you live. If you live in the states shipping orders from US warehouses shouldnt be an issue.

I have 2212 2200kv motor with 40A esc and 6035 props and several servos,
View attachment 176268
I want to build a6m zero with this View attachment 176267
And when i search for plans from flite test, most identical shape its refer to FT master series P47 View attachment 176269
But i dont think motor can handle that size
Can you guys tell me what to do? I really want to build a6m zero
Plus i dont know what battery i should buy in the esc it said can handle 2-3s but I don't know which capacity should i buy
Thanks guys i hope i can find an aswer for my build plan
Bangladeshi?
