480 Geared motor replacement help.

[Tamiyacowboy]

This one is for us Airplane guys.

have a 32 inch wingspan 200 square sports airframe.

was covered in some cheap tacky covering. its been stripped

and is being prepped for a new skin and livery.

it came with a cobalt 400 direct drive, or you could opt for a 3:1 geared box and a 020 brushless.

The bird is 12 years old, her last flight of three was 12 years ago. its time she came back to life.

so what motor can i drop into her, she swings a 6x4.5 and upwards.

she has space for a 8 cell CP1300 or 800AR nicad ( yes she is that old)

and she had a flying weight of roughly 26 ounces or 1.62lb

she must fly fast to stay airborne , slow flight she wallows and is

known to tip stall - tip roll under slow flight and turning

so 200 square and a 32 inch wingspan throwing a 6x4.5 or a 7

very small battery tray and old style nitro like mounting bars.

i need a motor and lipo setup guys if possible.
