I'm thinking of building my first RC plane and I'm going to buy a 1000kv 33g motor with 30 amp ESC and a 1060 propeller. Does all of the equipment go well together and most importantly, what plane sizes will i be able to build with this equipment? I'm aiming for a plane with wing length of 1000mm.
Will 1000kv 33g motor w 1060 propeller work with smaller planes??

I'm planning on using a 3 cell 2200 mah battery.
Here is the link to the motor kit:

if i understand correctly you are wanting to get a 2212 1000kv motor with a 1060 prop, on a 30 amp esc.
the plane i would suggest for that setup, is a ft simple scout, i have personally flown mine on that exact setup on a 3s 2200, and a 3s 1500mah lipo. and it flew great

Yes this motor setup, and battery will work great for the ft simple scout
Thanks for the advice, it is incredibly helpful to know that you have built a similar model that worked, I'm not sure what plane the ft simple scout is, but i will check it out right now!
Do you know the measurements and wingspan of your ft simple scout? I checked it out and it looked great! I won't buy the kit but I'll try to build something along those lines!
See the FT Simple Scout build page:

Plans are at the bottom of the page.

When i go to the bottom and click the link with the plans it won't redirect me.
Try right clicking and choosing "save link as".
Or try a different browsers?

have you considered printing out the plans, and building the ft simple scout? so for your first plane, you know it'll fly...Thanks, i took a screenshot on the measurements for the FT simple scout and the simple cub to use as guidelines when i build my plane
That is a good idea but i want to design my own plane really bad, altough have a very good point and i will try to my plane as similar as possible to working planes to ensure that the plane works. The ft simple scout feels a little to complicated for me so I'll draw my inspiration for the Simple Cub and the Joytrainer mini and if all goes well I'll end up with a working planes
Thanks for all the help!

No worries 👍 I understand the feeling. But the simple scout is almost exactly the same build as the cub 😜.That is a good idea but i want to design my own plane really bad, altough have a very good point and i will try to my plane as similar as possible to working planes to ensure that the plane works.
