thunderstreak.keith Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 thanks for all your help guys. theres alot of info yer to read through and i`ve dug a few mags out regarding electric set ups. I think for now I might forget the conversion and do a completely new build, something small to fit a 400 size (ish) motor to see how i get on with what i`ve got. If i am still not happy I can fall back on my tried and tested ic engines. now to pick a plane, plenty of plans out there so will be spending a bit of time on that first. once again thx for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bennett Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 You might get better info out of converting something you already fly on glow, into electric. Then you'll be able to gauge the benefits and problems. If you build from scratch, you may not know if it's the model or the power setup that's the problem if it doesn't fly well. If nothing else, converting a fuel-tank bay into a battery bay with removable hatch will be a challenge for anyone who enjoys building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
