I am trying to build a setup that includes two propellers that can pitch up and down. I am debating whether I should use two motor to power each propeller and the other two to act as servos for each of the "motor-propeller" set up, or the power of the motor is strong enough that I can use one motor/move hub to drive both propellers and the other motor can be used as a servo. Could you tell me the specs of these thing so I can decide which one to buy or order? Thanks

PUP M | 4.08 N*cm | 270 rpm | 1.15 W | 2.66 W |
PUP Control+ L | 8.81 N*cm | 198 rpm | 1.83 W | 4.70 W |
PUP Control+ XL | 8.81 N*cm | 198 rpm | 1.83 W | 4.16 W |
