What kind of battery does this need? Also what kind of prop fits it if I'm using it for an airplane?

I have used a 3s 1300 mah all the way up to a 3s 2200 mah battery with this motor and it performed admirably. My esc is a neewer 30a. The 20a esc will work but not for extended use. Almost any ground contact by the prop will surge the 20a with this motor and burn it out. The prop size really depends on the model. Being a 1000kv motor it does spin slower than a parkjet motor or the like. I have almost 15 hrs total flight time on this motor. I put. 9x6, 10x4 and a 11x5 on it. The 10x4 is where it got the best thrust without chewing through the battery quickly. The 9x6 gave me the best flight times and the 11x5 was awesome for 3d flight. It really depends on the weight of your aircraft. Hope this helps. I have used a 3s 1300 mah all the way up to a 3s 2200 mah battery with this motor and it performed admirably.

Well, let's start from the beginning. What plane are you using, how big, weight, that's what you need to know before adding up battery amps and props. But for my personal use, I only put 3cell 11.1v max for the battery and the really depends on the plane. I have ran 8 inch props up to 12. But for small planes somewhere In 5,6,7 inch size.

It depends on what type of flying you are going to do? If you are doing 3D and hard aerobatics use a 30-60c 1300ma cell lipo and a 10x4.7 prop. If you are using it as I did for a multi rotor heli I use a 30c 2200 3 cell and 10x4.5 props with 3 motors. These are GREAT motors and very durable.

The plane comes with a charger that runs on AA batteries. It works but you only get 10-15 charges b4 batteries are dead. I would recommend also getting a usb charger with the plane. It will save you money in the long run. Have fun this is a great starter plane, just make sure there is no wind.

You would need a large battery. I tried to use for the same thing, but would have to carry a car battery.

O.K. I have read and agree with the 5 previous answers, except that I did not find any battery "plugged into the bottom" of mine. The battery appears to be well sealed in the styrofoam chassis, and it would take some very careful (and maybe disastrous) surgery with a sharp model knife to open the chassis up to discover and remove the battery. That's something I might try to do later on, but right now I'm just trying to learn how to fly it.

These give me 16-18 minutes fly time:E-Flite LiPo Battery 3.7V 500mAh 1S 25C EFLB5001S25

Yes, batteries are required, 4 - AA for the plane and 2 AAA for the remote.

I tried the 300 and 450 mah turnigy nanotechs from hobbyking. the 450 fits without cutting, but it's a tight fit. Good power from both. Like any battery, adjust the cg to get it to fly the way you want. As predicted, the heavier battery can make the plane fly faster with a heavier nose, and also require a longer landing strip.

I would recommend that you get 5 of the 500mah batteries (which will allow much more flight time), the 5 in 1 balance charger and maybe some spare props to keep it flying well in case of crashes (which happens while you are learning). Buying this unit will get you the prop wrench, prop guard and one extra set of props.

Not really. Lights don't take much ampere. You need to buy a bigger battery. Search for "Syma S107G battery" then buy a "3.7V Lithium Polymer 240 mah". Both S107 series and S36 use the same type of battery and originally shipped with a 150 mah only (good for 15-20 min flight). The 240 mah is slightly heavier but still it will keep you in the air for much longer.

Your best bet is to get the Battery Minder that is designed for either 12 or 24v aviation batteries. They work very well, but are more expensive, but so are aviation batteries.

This unit will come with a prop wrench and a prop guard. Strongly recommend buying another set or two of props - flys best with unchipped props. I would also buy a set of 5 500maH batteries (much more flying time) and the 5 at once balance charger. Now you can take it to the park or a ball game and do some recording with your set of batteries!

The battery is built-in. It lasts an insanely long amount of time. I fly with it weekly for several hours per flight. I only need to charge it once a week or every other week. Charges via USB cable.

8 AAA batteries! The quality of the plane is low with regard to longevity. I only fly twice before the camera pack up.

You are going to need a transmitter receiver combo, the other big one is a lipo battery 3cell. With that battery you will need a charger and battery tester. I would recommend a small tester that can be mounted while you are flying. The reason is that if you run a lipo too low on charge then the battery will not hold a charge anymore or worse it will burst into flames. I hope this helps.

You can't use anything but a one cell LiPo, but you can use a larger capacity single cell. A larger cell gives longer flight times, but poorer performance due to the weight. In such a light aircraft every gram counts. The 75 MaH battery that comes with it gives plenty of flight time. Just buy a handful of spares for more flights.

Absolutely. Aviation batteries are not advised but you will really like it in your application.

I changed my motor and gear box out and installed a brushless with batteries then I found props that fit...and she screams.. I did make new landing gear so the longer prop fits well...Good luck..
