Default Which tail motor for brushless conversion

I already have a V1 mcpx which I have converted main motor to brushless but using the 120sr tail and the old steve converter.
I also have a spare v1 board and a spare xp7a and a spare xp3a and I have decided to build a new double brushless mcpx using blheli and therefore without the steve.
I think I know what im doing and I have managed to flash both esc's and they seem to be working ok.
Before I connect everything up I wanted to know two things:-

What motor do people use for the tail and with what mount?
Im in the UK so anything I can get from here would be great.

Secondly, I also have a spare HP03SPE 13500KV from my old Nano mild brushless kit. Will this do as a tail motor?

You can get Dylan Stewart's CF tailfin / mount from Astroid Designs Ncpx page. He makes 2 and 3mm bracket mounts depending on your boom diameter. Very light weight and durable. He has also a plastic tail motor mount that is more durable and heavier.

Someone correct me if I am wrong here. The nano motor is built for some high rpm at the expense of torque. Tail motors need instant acceleration -- read torque to do the job. My HP03t tail motors have 12 magnets and all my nano main motors have 6 magnets.

I cant find a supplier for a HP03, only a 2 cell version.
Im really struggling to find out what motors work well and fit.
Any chance someone could provide a list or specifications required?

If you just want a good tail holding, there is no need to convert. Just use 130x blades for the main and use an extended tail boom and stock tail motor. By using a longer blade you get the same amount of lift with much less torque, so less need for a strong tail motor.
