Thanks for the reply. I've been reading a lot of complaints about Hobby King motors. Things like "flying apart at high speeds" and loose parts, etc.
Here's a question: with all the motor choices out there, how the heck does a guy know which model number to select? There are 3008 and 2812 and....you name it. I know I'm old but it was simpler when the plans said "use a .35 gas engine".
I tried it with the prop shown. Either too much prop or my battery was too much for the motor as when I accelerated, past half throttle, it make a cogging/squealing noise. So....I will try some different props.
How did you like the Hobby King motor? I'm about to get my 48" wing version ready for spring and am trying to decide which motor/prop/ESC/battery pack to use.
Now that you've flown yours for a season, which motor did you use and would you use it again? What ESC and battery pack and where did you buy them from?
@Guitarplar the small motor did not work out so well. I was getting a weird vibration/squeal and I think it was because the motor was out of synch in high speeds. I am going to drop in a Hyperion motor in and that will work great for 3 cell using 11x6 or 12x6 APC.
Find a HK motor equal to an AXI 2820-12 and use an 11x7 electric prop 3 cell 3500 mAh. should do the trick.

Guess I have a lot to learn.
