Ok, well I want an outrunner. I think those are the ones that are like cd drive motors ?
yup.
I want to spin a 5-6 inch pro around 13-14k
That's down into low performance 049 territory, if you want to equate it to a gas engine. One of the nice things about electrics is that you can jigger the numbers a bit and spin a bigger prop slower, which increases the prop efficiency*. Unless you're building a speed demon, you maybe want to think 7 or 8 inches to equal a modern 049 with a 5-inch prop.
Check your motor/ESC combo -- because outrunners are designed to run slow, your motor/ESC may not be happy at such a high speed. If you buy it from a hobby shop, see if they'll let you run it, and tach it for speed. At the very least scrutinize the motor specifications carefully and try to get one that is specified to go that fast.
On the plus side, until you make it fly apart from centripetal effect, burn up the bearings or terminally confuse the ESC, an electric motor is a constant-torque device -- this is why inrunners do so well with gearboxes. So you'll be able to get away with a smaller motor than your power input may otherwise indicate, which will save a modicum of weight.
Not sure if I'll need 2 cell or 3.
That depends -- there are plenty of small motors that'll work on two cells, and plenty that'll work on three. If you really want to aim for 14K then you'll need a motor with a Kv of
Kv = RPM / volts = (14000 RPM) / (7V) = 2000 RPM/Volt
for two cells, or
Kv = RPM / volts = (14000 RPM) / (11.5V) = 1333 RPM/Volt
for three.
If you're not alienated by the math, then you can use the above expressions to calculate Kv for whatever your target RPM is.
Looking at those Kv numbers you may well have to go with three cells, unless you can find a motor that's really intended to run fairly slowly on one cell, or one that's intended for little, fast planes. Since the market seems to like 3D you'll probably be stuck with three cells -- which will make finding a pack an interesting exercise.
I've got a concept in mind. But figure I'll find motor,batter and such. Looking to build somewhat smaller and stay light around the concept I'm thinking of. Once I find the power train then I can draw fuse and wing joint to get it togeter. Plan is to have everything enclosed kind of.
Good thought.
If you can, leave spare room in the battery compartment. Batteries wear out, and battery technology evolves. Every time I build a plane with a nicely ducted, tightly fitting battery compartment I end up getting a new battery that's lighter, less volume, and significantly smaller in two dimensions out of the three than the other one -- and that third dimension blows outside of my battery compartment space claim.
The more I play with electrics, the more I think that the best battery compartment is a big flat plate covered with a huge patch of Velcro!
* Which conforms to full-scale practice -- there are a lot of geared airplane engines out there for the same reason.
