How many cells? What is the expected all up weight?
What kind of power? (adequate or insane 3d like)

I was flying my 81" inch cub on a Reaper Brushless GR60, 4 cell LiPo and an Airboss 80a esc.
7 lbs, 1000 watts. Not quite enough power to sustin unlimited vertical, but pretty close.

A Torque 4014 would also work....but Reapers are awesome.

plane weighs about 12lbs complete. will use lipo packs. probably like 2- 3s 3200mah packs. tower recommends a 50-62-450 rimfire 120, but of course its on back order along with the speed control anyone know what would be comparable, maybe even a little more power??
