see link below on how to use ex server power supplies which are higher power than pc power supplies and easier to convert **LINK** -
A fellow club member had a 70 four stroke in one of these, excellent flyer, probably less crash resistant than wot 4 or acrowot **LINK**

Looking at my pup it has a 17" prop, doing a google search should find plenty of other electric conversions as it's a popular plane -

HobbyKing No Fuss Returns
Gavin Mack replied to Andy48's topic in R/C Retailers / Distributors / Manufacturers
My experience has been the complete opposite. I ordered a £50 touch screen charger which upon 1st use the display disappeared after a few minutes. I contacted HK who asked me to fill out a rma form with pictures and video (uploaded to youtube). Within a day I had a reply back saying a replacement was on its way. This arrived within a day and seems fine. I also asked when they were going to collect the faulty one. I had a reply saying keep it for spares or repair it. I think this is exceptional service which most shops wouldn't offer. -
I have just ordered one of these as it has a battery hatch to allow lipo use, unlike the previous ones (of which I have 2, 1 ic os 56 alpha, 1 electric with A123's permanently installed). the size means I can fit it in the car assembled which is useful.

The beast 60 is the best flying plane I have and it flys like it's on rails. Below is kit used with costs sep 2013. The beast isn't as fast as it would be with eflites recommended kit but it fine for me. When choosing a new car last year one of the priorities was that I could fit the beast in assembled.

They would fit, but according to forums the plane does not fly as well -

Saw 3 of these in our club on Sunday, impressed so I bought one as I have a stock of 3s 1300mAh. A similar one for those who would like to make one is called Polaris. link to forum about it including pdf plans below **LINK** -

6 months ago I replace my 1997 audi 6 estate with a 2008 Subaru Legacy 2L Petrol AWD estate as it was one of only a few cars that could take the Beast 60 fully assembled, I actually took the plane to the garages and found that it wouldn't fit in most cars including the Mondeo, length was fine but width was to narrow as they had filled any spaces with compartments. legacy is crap on mpg (26 average) but majority of driving is local. Suspension is very definitely sport.
