I have an old Gentle lady 2m sailplane and just picked up these items do you think they will work for this plane. I have not purchased the prop yet its just my guess so far, this electric stuff is new to me. I will be using 3s 1500 lipo.

One note you might check out the 1300 lipo as used in parkzones Radian, is small but enough to give several rides for searching lift

My concern would be the amp draw: that is a 22A cont. motor, but for brief bursts you might get away with it.

I think I agree with Dr. Kiwi. As long as you keep the full throttle run to less than 30 seconds yo uwill probably be fine.
