Haha, no I'm using those for an 1806 and 2206. I have a Beatles 30A in the mail for the Simple Stick. It's actually a 2213 I think, old B-pack Emax motor.
I'll stick to 30A or larger for the 2212 then! I have a couple of Beatles ESC, they're good.
I haven't found a store that sells colored packing tape. You can find colored Duck tape at a lot of stores but I only use it for colored trim. It is good for reinforcing leading edges and tips. Not much weight penalty when used only for trim in that way.
To save the cost of burning up esc's and just guessing what size you should use get a cheap $20.00 watt meter gauge so you can test how many amps the power setup is pulling before you even go out to the field.
do you have a link for one?
You can make a Wattmeter. Free if you get the meter at Harbor Freight as a give away. Link: $3 Wattmeter Also reads Volts and Amps.
This is my second one I bought, you can test your servos, run the motor with it also. My 1st one which still works was from HK for $15.00 but there are tons out there to chose from.
You should be flying great! I put a 2216 880kv motor running 9x6 and it had plenty of sporty power.
That would fly it really well! I used a 9x6 thin electric prop on mine and was very happy with the performance. You listed the "B pack motor", and for a little more speed, you could use the 2218 1180 "C pack" motor. I used it on mine and it was very powerful.
Also, landing gear is a ? for me....90% of my flying with this will likely be in tallish grass so may stick to my plan to skip them.
Super clean looking build! Just so you know, it's designed to fit the swappable power pod.Build is mostly done, just waiting on the running gear to show up. Decided to go with the FT "C" pack motor. Once the electronics are installed I'll knock out all of the final stuff like wing tie downs. Also need to build a power pod or reinforce the nose (permanently). I think I may externally mount the tail servos near the back, I should have plenty of weight up front with 3 or 4s batteries. Given the extra power I may add some carbon supports for the rudder/stabilizer too. I knew I should have added a BBQ skewer to the rudder before hand
Glad I knocked out a "tiny trainer" for friends to use (crash) before tackling this. Helped me hone my foam techniques. This came out almost perfectly - the only imperfection is I was holding the rear fuse cap down a little too far (visible just behind the wing). I was too focused on getting the tail area fit without wrinkling the paper/foam. Otherwise it went together great.
Oh, also bc it was discussed before. No way my extra Hitec 9g mini servo would fit in the spar. Too long and tall. I decided not to cut holes for the servos until the blue HK specials show up.
She should fly great!

Looks AWESOME! Good luck on the maiden!
Looks fun! Let us know how it goes!
