If no one has mentioned it don't forget to look at Neu motors. I am running
a 1506 2D 6.71 gearbox on 10 GP 3300s with terrific results. 80 amps with
an 18x10 prop in an electric Escape. It's smoother than a Hacker and I can
talk to the people who built it on the phone.
I had some range issues with a UBEC too. Now that I have a little 4 cell
AAA pack in there the worry of motive pack failure is gone as are the range
issues. If a cell goes bad in the motive pack or something else it's still
a glider!

That is a very small battery for a full house glider. I have been up
with my Graphite-E, Topaz-E for many over 1 hr flights. I use 4x1650
nimh AA for my flight pack. I don't like BEC either. Both my plane
pull well into the low 3-digits current. Any cell failure on the
motor pack or the failure on the ESC will send your plane into
free-flight.
