Default Re: motor selection

If you carry 13p props (and don't mind getting wet) you could get it on a plane. If you have 21p props on 150's and you drop one motor . . . why press your luck. Beating the piss out of your motor by running WOT 3200rpm trying to get on a plane . . . . you risk detonating the second motor and destroying your last chance at getting home. Just slug it out at displacement speeds 7-8mph (can be done with a 8hp high-thrust kicker) or carry 2 party barge props.
