matching motor to plane weight
Hi guys,
Is there a formula for the motor/prop thrust to plane weight ratio? I'm finding when matching motors for home built foamies, i'm usually just looking for the motor that the creator used. I want to build my own plane now and I have no idea how to match the motor/prop to the size and weight of my plane! please advise. DK
