>Hello everyone,
>I have decided that my next pattern plane / build will be electric and I am doing my preliminary research before starting to buy equipment (motor, ESC, batteries, prop, E-motor mount) and could really use some help. 
>
>My goal for my first foray into electrics is to put together proven reliable equipment that works and performs well as complimentary components. I don't know as much about electrics as I will need to, but I am sure that I will be learning a lot as I go along. My expectations are that I will be using a Lipo 10S pack of at least 5000 mah (will this be enough?). I have often seen that people use the Hacker C50 motors but also see a lot of other engines by other manufacturers. 
>
>Requirements:
>1. I do not want to use a gear box so I will need a motor capable of direct drive
>2. I want equipment where the components will all work well together  
>3. weight is always an issue
>4. price is a consideration but third behind reliability and performance
>
>I will be flying advanced with the new airplane which will be purpose built as an electric. If there is a website or other source of useful information on electrics, I would like that as well. 
>
>Thanks in advance
>Anthony
