That combination is fine for sport flying but if you plan to do any serious maneuvering be warned that the recovery time with a 2200kv motor will be slow.
Based on?
In general a high kv motor will require less voltage and more current to do the same job; as long as the wires are thick enough and the ESC and battery capable of delivering the current, there shouldn't be an overall difference in behavior.
When you say a small battery are you referring to the mAh rating or the voltage(cells). mAh only governs how long you can fly, it is the cells count that tell you how well and that pesky "c" number tells you how quickly the ESC can deliver the extra juice the motor is asking for.
Well, it's more complicated than that -- for a given C rating, two batteries of the same physical size, matched up to the correct motor for that pack, should result in equivalent performance -- even if one is 3 cell and the other 6. Actually
finding motors and ESCs to match over that wide of a range ain't gonna happen without a lot of work.
In general smaller systems are designed for lower voltages, because the overhead of thicker wires is less for a smaller plane than the overhead of more cells.
I've ordered a 2200kvh motor with a small battery and esc so I'll see how that goes once they arrive. If not I will use the same motor as my Superclown with a rear mount and just use the smaller prop for it. Thanks to everyone for some guidance.
Tell us
which motor and pack -- what matters is the power the motor can put out (which depends on kv, current rating and your pack voltage) and the RPM it can achieve (which depends on the kv and pack voltage). Just quoting kv isn't sufficient information.
(And my small may be your huge, and visa-versa -- I know guys for whom a "small" motor is one that you can actually carry around in a 1/2-ton pickup, and others for whom a "large" motor is actually bigger than your thumb.)
