Guy's, this thread is getting too technical (yawn ).
I think the way most of us do it is:
1. Buy the wrong size motor first up (despite thinking it is the correct motor).
2. Buy and fit the wrong pitch and size prop (even though you thought it was also correct)
3. Buy a range of props and keep swapping until it [almost] works.
4. Buy another motor (refer #1)
5. Buy another ESC as the one you have is now under-rated for your new motor.
6. Buy another plane to suit the underpowered motor and ESC you have sitting around (props now on hand).
7. Dang it. Buy more servos for the new (smaller plane).
8. Buy more batteries for both planes.
Notice that every action starts with "Buy". Only following this time proven technique can you be deemed experienced. So my formula is: Experience = Number of planes and Poverty is proportional to the number of planes. Therefore, by transposition, Experience = Poverty.
If you don't believe me, check out the signature list under our experienced plane pilots .
