Default Eflite PT-17 brushless motor recommendations?

Trying to figure out what brushless motor and esc to use. Anyone have any recommendations? I don't really want an over priced brand. I know eflite said it uses a 15 size. Does that refer to .15 as in glow??? I just picked up this plane used and I cant wait to fly Iit!
Thanks!

Let's make the math easy .

Pick a motor based off of weight and prop range that will fit with the eflight specs. I reccomend the powerup or firepower series of motors. Match battery and esc to the motor, done.

Come back with any questions, or jeff at heads up will always email back quickly and will give you a recomendation as well.

Goodluck, and let us know what you decide.

I believe the motors are based as equivilents for eflight and other similar sized motors. A power up 15 should be very close to the elfight 15 motor. But, you are not bound to using any particular motor, and can get more performance or less depending on what you'd like.
