Help!!!  I am looking into e-flite and have kadet ep-42. I have
had some dealers say only look at the watts of a motor and
others say windings. How should I decide on which motor to buy
and batteries and esc'?  Wow am I confused!  Where is a good
easy explanation of how to examine electric flight?   Dr. Kadet
02-12-2006, 07:27 PM Perhaps you can find a plane similar to
yours in this list of conversions.  The simplistic conversion
is: 50W/lb - trainers 75W/lb - fun fly 100W/lb - aerobatic
02-12-2006, 08:49 PM the Kadet EP-42 is supposed to fly on a
geard 400 setup so I would bet it would fly great on a 400/480
sized outrunner like the E-Flite 450, AXi 2808 etc since it only
weighs about 26 ounces perhaps even an SK 400XT would fly her.

confused than ever. Went to my LHS and the guy said just throw
this 25.00 GWS brushless on there and you will be fine. No
mention wattage batterie
