Started my build and I need to select a motor. The design is from 2001 and I understand that motor technology has advanced a bit.
TooJung2Die in an earlier post of mine suggested a motor in the 250 range. Herr suggested a "280 Speed Electric" which I assume is in the 250 range.
I'm thinking a Park 250 brushless outrunner motor will work. Link below.
The motor in the Herr drawing extends .84 from the front of the fire wall. See attached image. The specs on the Park 250 state that the "case length" is .9 inches (23mm).
The firewall has a 1" hole for the original motor mounting (see pic). Depending on how the new motor mounts, I may cut a new plywood firewall if the hole causes mounting problems. For clarity, I'm not running the motor through the hole like the Herr drawing shows.

Questions are:
1. Is the Park 250 a good choice?
2. Are there better choices? Maybe a FlightTest motor? I could not make sense of the FlightTest specs to see if one was a good candidate.
3. Am I missing anything?
Thanks in advance for your advice. More questions coming....
