Note on motors for the Foam & Tape Cub:
The old brushed systems aren't really sold any more. The brushless outrunner and lipoly batteries are way better. Try this website: hobbyking.com. Here are some product ID numbers for a cheap, light power system:

  • Transmitter ID: hk-t4a-m2 (The m2 is for mode two. Throttle on the left transmitter stick. If you learn to fly mode one you won't be able to let anybody fly your plane or you fly theirs!)
  • Motor: Hxm 2730-1300 ($7.99)
  • Servos: hxt500 (5-gram servos, $3.49 ea.)
  • Esc: hk-ss10a ($6.50)
  • Batteries: your choice - light versus time and power. Rhino 460 mAh 2-cell is very light; the 610 two cell (ID:r610-20-2), and the 750 two cell lipos (ID:R750-20-2) are recommended. To fly longer times, but heavier, the 1050 and the 1200mah 2-cells are possible.
  • Charger for lipolys - lots of choices for more money.
