370 brushed motor, 3.67 gearbox and 7.5 x 5 prop power set. WattAge IC-15A electronic speed control, and a WattAge 8-cell 800mAh NiMh battery pack. It draws a max of 7 amps. 7 amps times 11.1v from my Li-poly battery gives 77.7 watts.

So, a 400 motor was intended to fly a 400 gram, or ~14 ounce airplane.
The other naming convention used by Astro and others, 05/15/25 etc, was originally intended to refer to the equivalent glow motor size. I.e. 25 is in theory equivalent to a glow .25.

(calc estimates, final GWS HD 9x7.5 screen shots)EDIT: Upgraded power system to a ~10$ outrunner 2826/10 1400 Kv 47g (+30A ESC ~$25) on GWS 9x7.5 HD prop (black), it's a 10min rocket ship near 420g including 3x1320mAh packs (still under 15A on a CC-P10 ESC). More fiddling to fit with a prop saver but is much faster than previous inrunner/gearbox combo .
- No Landing Gear.
- Cut ailerons and elevator to wing tips (extra ~20mm per control surface).
- Cut extra rudder into the top of the tail, like an inverted 'L' shape to include the area where the stock tail decal goes.
- Twin aileron servo's, so I can play with aileron flaperons, spoilerons and aileron differential DX7 Tx settings.

Model Plane from about 100W to 300W. I'd want to stay very light on 100W (say 360g/13oz or less) for use in reasonably calm conditions and small spaces. I'd be looking for a prop in the range 8x4 to 9x6. I've flown one like this and it was fun flown close in when there wasn't much wind.
At the other end of the scale, say 300W, you'll probably want to reinforce the airframe and the weight with suitable cells, motor and adequate servos will probably be more like 550g+ (19.5oz+). This plane would be much faster at high throttle but slow speed handling will suffer. It'll also handle wind better due to higher inertia and speed. It'll be best suited to large aerobatic manoeuvers in open spaces. I'd guess the best prop will be somewhere in the range 7x4 to 10x6 depending on how you want to it to fly. The best power system for most purposes, including speed, is one that has a geometric pitch speed (pitch measurement x RPM) slightly higher than the desired flying speed. So if you want to fly 60mph it might be reasonable to prop for say 65mph to 70mph pitch speed.
