I've been doing a lot of digging into the traditional 2306 (F40) vs 2207 (F60) and I've decided to lean more towards 2207. The smaller but taller F60 evidently provides more low end torque. But it is subtle so I interpret this more as precision than turbo boost (unless you really punch it). This comes at the expense of slightly higher amperage though. But hey. YOLO. lol

? Think that is something i can consider in a second / third build.

If the first build goes into air, doesn't burn, i am totally happy Wink Then once expirienced i could still opt for other props/ motors ...
So much to learn, thought get a Reciever a drone and have fun, but the hobby has so much depth

Sooo, first build.done,

it was the JB drone from getfpv.
I have all parts for the nex one but for now i am happy... Learnd to solder, no smoke! (will share pictures later)

1 Issue; i use a crossfire micro reciever but the wires are way to short ... have to get some spare one..

1 question; One i plug in the battery, there are some sparks... is that normal?

Yes, it's normal to get a small arc as you plug in the XT60 connector.
