I'm currently using an Omega 130g 870Kv motor in an EF Edge 48 EXP with a 50A HobbyWing ESC. I used the same combo to good effect in a 3DHS 48" Edge as well. Both awesome planes!

Not sure exactly what the extra 130Kv will do in terms of propping...I run a 14x7, maybe you'll have to go a bit smaller...someone with more experience will have to chime in.

Since that motor is rated at 388 watts I would go with a smaller 40" or 42" airframe. An omega 130g is rated at 700 watts max peak hope this helps

I have an OS 3815-1000Kv motor and Castle Ice lite 50 esc that I won recently and was hoping for a couple suggestions for a good 3D/Acrobatic airframe to go with this combo.
Thanks in advance.
