Can I put a big motor in a small plane? Does it matter?
I have a 3ch mustang racer (I have no idea what kit it's from) that is brushed but would like to convert to brushless.
I'm thinking of putting a 750kv motor on it?
I placed a 20amp lipo brushed esc on it last night (still using the brushed motor - I don't know what motor it's got) and used my turnigy 3s 2200 but it didn't feel like it had enough pull - could be the battery as it was on storage charge?)
And if I did put a 750kv motor on it - how will I know what prop to use? I know nothing about power systems for planes. They always seem so complicated and most people always say get a watt meter but that's another expense I don't really want to spend as I just want to plug and play. I am not bothered about trying different set ups for optimum performance.
By the way - the plane's wingspan is probably less than 1000mm
