The 2213 can make just about the same thrust!!!
My test prove it. Apc 10x 3.8 will make about 7,600 plus rpm's making about 38 oz of thrust!!
The C 35-30 kv 1100 will make 39.2 oz running a Apc 10x3.8 at 7,600 . So why carry the extra weight?
This setup should be running a speed prop. So you might try a Apc 10x 5 it makes more speed then the 10x7 because it turn a lot more rpm's ..About 8,400. or so!!
PS: that's about 40 mph on level flight.
I'm running about 60 mph on level fight!!

I am running a 10x7 APC speed prop. My calcs show ~250W output and 60mph and 61 oz thrust at WOT. However, I will give it to you that I haven't tested anything. These are estimates for the figures stated by Turnigy. And through reading the tests on that company, they are not really built to a tight tolerance. I will remember your advice if I rebuild.

Calc attached:
Propeller 10.0 x 7.0 Geared 1.0

Volts: 11.0
Amps:29.8
Rpm: 9616
In: 327.4
Out: 254.8
Eff: 77.8
Time: 2.0
Thrust: 64.7
Speed: 63.7



Thanks,
Hebert

Edit: my motor only weighs 3/4 oz more than the one you suggested and I get 50W more output.

Well got in a short maiden flight us air net says winds at Jones airport across the river are at 12mph. She flies great, gosh she's a fast little thing. Thanks for a great build Lee. Will try and post pics and video soon.

Ok I haven't been able to find a cameraman yet but here are the specifics on my build.
AUW 13 0z.

motor Hextronics
Kv: 1300rpm/v
Max Load: 8 amps
No Load Current: 0.5A
Suggested Prop: GWS HD-8060
24 grams

Prop GWS black 8060

battery
Rhino 1250 3S1P 20C LiPo Pack

ESC TowerPro 30 Amp Brushless Speed Controller

servos pico+ BB

Plus three pics, she still needs a little finishing. Maybe some paint but none but one I have built so far have lasted long enough for paint. The one that did get painted was because it hung in my home office for 2 months and I got tired of hearing my wife complain about that chunk of foam.
Will try and get some video before dark if possible.

Wow, that little motor is fast? Does it get hot?

I run the same "Blue Wonder" motor and prop (HD8060) on my Simple Delta and it really zips around the sky. I use a 500mAh 3s lipo and the motor never even gets warm. Hobby City now even has a new version that I have on order...the "Red Wonder"

It gets a little warm but not hot to the point you can't touch it. The guy I bought it from recommended the 8060 prop with the 1250mah lipo. He runs one set up exactly like mine in fact except he has a lower amp esc on his full fuse spitfire. By the way check out his website karglusa.com, tell him Jack sent you by if you decide to buy.

I actually have a blue wonder and am about to go and try to maiden the thing now in a micro UFO. I just never knew it could fly a plane of this size.

I'm knew, I'm still soaking this stuff up like a sponge

I'm curious to see how it does on this plane as well --- it seems like it would be underpowered. Then again, at 13 oz, this seems like a nice light build. I'm running the 1500kv Blue Wonder on Swift II wing --- with an 800 mah 3s at 10.5 oz auw, it goes straight up.

Hey Rabbit I'm soaking to. I've got the same motor on an f22 with about a 32 inch span built off of http://rc.tomhe.net/f-22#toc10 this plan. Here's a short video to give you an idea how good this motor is, winds were about 10- 12mph.

BustedBlades. did you use a tach to get those numbers?
I can't get anywhere close to those high numbers using my same motor with a good high power batteries. ( 9616 rpm's Apc 10x7??)
I just run my test again with a new Turingy C35-30 kv 1100 with a New Apc 10x7
I get 7,800 rpm's = 33 oz. of thrust and about 159.6 watts and about 51 mph.
I'm using real numbers here from a amp reader and tach,not what some company says there motor will do. I don't see how your motor could be turning about 2,000 more rpm's running the same prop.
Your not running a 4 cell battery are you?
I'm using Thunder Power V2 2200mAh 3 cells. For test, not on plane. I run a Thunber Power 1320 pro-lite on plane. And that battery is not a very high C rating battery.

Not bad with that little motor. Here is a 32" F22 with Power 25.

32" F22 with Elfite Power 25 and 12 x 6 E APC prop (6 min 56 sec)

I don't like the 1300kv Bw at all! Same plane will fly at half throttle running a Bw 1500kv instead of 3/4 throttle running a Bw 1300kv with the same prop. So I don't buy the 1300 anymore!

Great video, that thing is pretty quick, I kind of like the slow flying right now as I am just getting my thumbs limbered up, and thats kind of hard for us old guys, especially when you've spent fifty+ years mistreating your hands doing mechanic and carpentry work Ouch just remembered one time I almost lost the end of my throttle thumb due to a framing hammer hit.
