I am interested in buying a few of these just wondering if anybody has experience with this motor and is it a indoor or outdoor motor because man it looks small
also if you haven't noticed already I am a newbie to flying and I am going to start with foam planes if you have any tips please let me know also this is what I think might work let me know what you think

Well JP I see everything listed there except for a plane to put it all in, and thats what you/we need to know first, what plane are you looking to get, or have already. That will dictate all else.

It is better to stop guessing and make a plane from a plan, that will work better. Or buy an ARF.
There are quite a few sites on the net with good plans for depron planes. Build some of those first and than you can start from there to build your own design. I am afraight that your model from above will not fly well...
