You are ideally looking at a esc of about 25-30amps. Motor should in the range of 200W. Battery should be 2000mah 3 cell.

What motor do you plan to use ? What type of flying are you planning on...
Trainer or Aerobatic or 3D (extremely aerobatic), because, choosing the prop type has a bearing on this as well. As for time of flight... can only be decided by the amp draw of the motor-prop combination... Thus the sizing of the battery will be decided also by the type of flying you plan to do...

hi thiagu

for wing loading calculation, i have used this calculator (i use it and works fine for my builds)

http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/eflight/calcs_wingload.htm

Wing Area                     156sq.in   10sq.dm
Total Wing Loading    24oz/sq.ft   75g/sq.dm

the above values are for wing span=1000mm,chord=100mm and AUW of the plane at=750grams
according to calculator the model you are trying to build is an extreme of an sport plane ! and make sure that your A/R ratio is some thing like 1:5-1:6

Wing Loading
Loading     Type
10 oz/sq.ft     Glider
15 oz/sq.ft     Trainers
20 oz/sq.ft     Sport Plane
25 oz/sq.ft    ; Fighters

to saju

IMHO with the span, chord  and weight you are designing you are looking for a glider configuration (High aspect ratio)

hi thiagu

Check Webocalc 1.05. This is a calculation you can download onto your computer. It is free and simple to use and fairly accurate.
You can get this at http://flbeagle.rchomepage.com. Also, there is the more traditional Powercalc. But both are good.
