RC Jim shows you the simple equipment that can be used to test thrust, current drawn and RPM for electric RC plane motors in a plane or on an easy to build test cart. He then discusses more about motor and prop selection to keep within the safe and efficient operation of a brushless DC motor (BLDC) and for it to be suitable for a given RC airplane.
