What motor, ESC and Pack they should for this model?
Thanks, Good Flight!

This is a pretty common and very powerful/effective setup being used in 2 Meter F3A ships:

Axi 5330/F3A motor - $269
Axi 8mm prop adapter - $15
Castle Creations Phoenix 85HV controller - $170

PolyQuest /Thunder Power/FlitePower 5S-5000mah battery x2 (series for 10s)

APC 20-13 electric prop - $15 (best in light winds)
APC 20.5-14 electric prop - $15 (best overall prop)
Complete power set up with 1 set of batteries approximately $700
Chargers and power supply:
Thunder Power 1010 charger - $199
Thunder Power 210V balancer - $99
Alternative charger setup :
CellPro 10S with integrated balancer - $189
2ea 6 pin balance nodes to fit your packs - $15 ea

Iota 55amp RV power supply - $110 from various sources on EBay
4mm to 6mm gold bullet connectors (connect motor to speed controller)
Deans Ultra connectors (connect battery packs to controller)

Optional:

12V deep cycle marine battery - $110 from Sears - will allow up to 5 flight battery charges. ( it can be recharged by Iota power supply above)
or
110V generator - $150 to $700
The optimum number of flight packs is 3 sets. This will allow you to fly almost continuously if you arrive at the field with 3 charged packs. Also, if you bring a deep cycle marine battery as well, you will be able to get in 8 flights per session.


Basic Castle Controller settings: (these are the important ones)


Battery - 30V (don't use auto-lipo setting)

timing - low
frequency - low
sensitivity - insensitive



This and more data for what you are doing can be had readily at the electric F3A site.


Hope this helps!
