Opinions on motors for Hyperlite Floss V2

[Jadams453]

I finally received my Floss 2 frame in the mail today. Trying to decide which motors I want to use with it. I have a set of Brotherhobby Returner R5's (2306 2650kv) sitting around waiting for a frame. My question is..would these motors be too much for such a light build, will they work well with the frame, or do I need to go with a slightly smaller set of motors?

Of the frame? Not mine in particular, just now headed to the house to get it out of the mail box. I'll post a pic of it from the site I bought it from.

I got the 5" version, which is a 212mm class frame. Completely assembled, the bare frame weighs 66 grams.

Personally I'm thinking a 2306 2650kv motor is going to be a bit too much horsepower for such a light frame..but then again I am far from an expert on the subject.

If it spins 5" props then I suppose, but if they where my motors I would be looking for around a 230. Still a small body form but a bit more span for them beefy motors to breathe. Do you race, are you any good?

I had a 180 I had dys 1806 on it. Then I put some red bottoms on it 05's.
I couldn't see a big difference. But same setup in a 220 & 250 was a vast improvement.

So Jackson, does that mean we're in agreeance that the returner R5's will be too much motor for the frame?

I don't race, not yet anyways I've been flying about 8 months, possibly a little more..but between 2 full time jobs I can't fly near as often as I like. I've been doing basically nothin but acro mode flying, stopped using level mode ab 2 months ago. I find flying in the goggles incredibly defficult bc I can't wear my glasses with any of the box goggles I have, so it makes me very sick at my stomach and gives me a headache. I would really love to have a set of far sharks or something with adjustable ipd, but...I work as a police officer and everybody knows cops don't get paid crap.

I'm from UK, crazy stuff going on over there dude, Sorry.
I can't wear any fatsharks or Skyzones as my ipd is 73,& they only go to 69-70.
But enough to spoil it. So I now have a neat setup. ImmersionRC Duo5800 which I screw onto a nifty 5' tripod, while I sit in my chair.
With some quanum V2. I do sessions @ parks doing LOS, where I try to drum up some business. I built around 20 for ppl.
Tried there goggles all to small. I'm still getting used to it. I'm scared of heights lol sometimes my gut goes. When I hang or dive.
