He's going with 5 cell packs. The wattage you said is about right. I think 900 would be really well actually but was asking here for backup, as it's only going to be 4.25 lbs give or take. Do you think he would need more than 200 watts per pound for Intermediate and Advanced?

As far as Dualsky is concerned, the XM4250CA or XM4260CA size motors would probably work. These motors will handle 11x6 to 15x8 props depending on battery cell count.
