What motor would you recommend?
The plane weighs 350 grams with all servo's and the reciever.
I do not have a battery or an esc or motor yet
I use the HK 24 gram 1500KV motor with an HK 8-10 amp esc and a 3-cell 350 or 450 mAh Lipo for all my foamies in that size range. Here's a small foam Taylorcraft I built a few years ago with 26" WS...It has plenty of power....can float forever like a powered glider and a small lipo lasts me 30 minutes, plus!
I also use the HK 5-gram servos.

This setup is very inexpensive and should suit your needs quite well also. Enjoy the build!
