Hi there,
Our boys are very into all things r/c, but still very amateur. They are 12 and 11. They are very creative, and build a lot of things from scratch, tons of stuff. However, as we have been researching (for about a month, via Youtube and websites) r/c airplane building, we're beginning to see there is more science to r/c airplanes than the cars, helicopters and drones they've previous bought or built, or their other builds around the house.
They tried a scratch build r/c plane from a couple Youtube videos, and discovered that it's not so easy as it seems. We have been watching a number of videos from Flite Test, and really like their work and videos. We found their DIY Simple Cub kit, which makes having something that will work, at a more affordable price than a complete kit or plane elsewhere, attainable. So, they bought a kit for each of they, but not the electronics, as they already had them. But then we looked at the specs, and realized maybe the stuff they already have would not be okay with this plane? Oh, and they are purchase these items with their own money they earn, so they don't have a whole lot of funds, and want to maximize on their $$.
Soooo, after all that introduction, they want to know if their electronics(purchased through links on a Youtube video for a DIY plane) will be okay to use with the Simple Cub. The motor is, I think, more powerful than the recommended motor, and the battery is heavier. I/we don't know exactly what this means , and whether it will work. They are hoping so, as they don't want to have to spend more funds!
This is the motor they have:

This is the battery they have:

We appreciate any input you can give us on whether this setup will work with the Simple Cub!
God bless,
John and Sarah
