I have an Eflite Leader 480. The recommended power system seemed a bit weak, so my setup is: A Suppo 2820/6 1000k motor (550 watts max), a HobbyWing Pentium 60 ESC, 4 cell 2200 Mah lipo and an APC 10x7 prop. With this setup, the plane weighs in at 48 Ounces. It has enough wing area to carry this fairly easily, with a stall speed just under
20 MPH. The plane both tracks and performs pattern well. It easily does unlimited vertical and is quite fast - I average about 1/2 throttle for most flying. My timer is set for a five minute flight, and the batteries are always over 20% upon landing, with the motor only slightly warm to the touch.

Read that post...
Low cost and amazing. $175 (shipped) aircraft with motor and servos.
Then go to Nitroplaness.com get the Dynam 40 amp ESC ($10 GOOD ESC!) and a pair of 4S 4000 mah SkyLiPo (20 c is plenty) for about $90 shipped.
Add TX and RX and you can be in the air in under 2 hours from when it all arrives.
