I built an ultralight glider several years ago. It has great performance and I considered adding an electric motor for self launch but with all the mods required I decided building another would be the way to go. I have a background in electronics but after researching for the last couple months, I didn't realize how much I didn't know about brushless motors and their controllers. I bought a motor/ESC combo from China to experiment with (I'm making expensive mistakes early) My experiments lasted about a minute before I turned the ESC into plasma. I bought this motor:

I searched for the Flier 500a ESC which is how I found Endless Sphere. Apparently the power specs are a joke...
I've already have an investment in this but not so much that I wouldn't abandon it for a better more reliable solution ( my ass will be riding in this after all) Are there higher power ESCs that will work with this motor, or would I be better off to start with a different motor/ESC combo?
