Assuming you are looking for enough power to take you to altitude before searching out thermals, and get you out of trouble when returning to the field, this is what worked for me:
HiMax 2816-1220 motor (6 degree down thrust)
11x7 folding Cam prop
Two cell 1320mah (15C) LiPo pack
25amp Castle Pheonix ESC
Easily get 15-20 minutes flying time, even when unsuccessful in finding thermals.

Thank you,yes you are correct in your assumtions.
I'm just in the proses of rebuilding the gentle lady, she drilled in, found the cause was a
broken tx crystal.
I was given the lady and to other planes, and other equipment. There was a Graupner speed gear 3,45:1, and a 400 motor in with all the electrical stuff. I think this motor was on the lady, but am not sure. Do you think this motor would work.
