I think you need to share what size Motors you are going to use.

1000kv motors

"2836-1000kv motors and 10x4.5 props. 3s 30C 2200 lipo"
are common from what ive read in several posts.

This is a popular program used by a lot of builders to look at performance differences with different component mixes. One has to fill in the data boxes with the component information or use the closest component match. It is not a perfect predictor, but it is accurate enough. It takes awhile to really figure this program out. The more one uses it the easier it gets to use and interpret.
