Default Question about motor/prop/esc combos

Hey guys. I'm really new to these planes and I have a couple questions. I'm wondering what one of these setups in the link below will be best for the F-117 and the F-22. What would you put on there? I'm about to make another order with them and i might as well get everything that I need for the planes while I'm doing it. Let me know what you think would be best. thanks for your time.

Tony

WOW so many options to comb through. Well since they didn't list the KV on that page I'll just have to say get the one that is closest to 2200KV, 57grams weight, 30 amp ESC and 6 X 4 sturdy prop. One thing to note however is that I have tried those "bell" style motors and did not like them. Seemed to get hot, have poor performance, and the shafts are really easy to bend.

That is some good info. I was wondering abotu the quality and I have read some reviews of them getting hot with a small prop on them. Hmm, back to the drawing board again I guess...

That $23 EDF is really tempting lol. I have all the servos and I'm about to get a new DX6i so I will need a new Rx for the plane since the good one will be going into the 250. Ugh, this hobby is too addicting lmao.
