thanks reno racer, I did try with a smaller prop but not a lot of difference. fitting a larger motor does away with a load of lead up front. I can always throttle back ,I like to fly on half power or less.
thanks boys, first I used a turnigy g160 motor, = 2700w on 10 cells. prop was a 19x10 if I remember. not enough take off speed. now I have a 5000w motor in it, not flown it yet, 12 cells and a 24x8 prop.
Has anybody built and flown the seagull ercoupe? I have put in a 5000w electric motor in mine, but not flown it yet. had tried a 2700 w but not enough puff. the model not me!
