Geoff S Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Looks great, Cliff and a couple of greaser landings as well. I'll be building a DB 60" ws Sopwith Pup as soon as my current build is done - or probably over the autumn/winter. It will be electric and will probably weigh around the same. What's your electric set up (battery, motor, current, prop, rpm etc) just to give me a feel for what I'll do myself? I'm thinking 4s will suffice turning a 13x6.5 prop but I haven't given it any deep thought. I have that sort of set up for my 2 58" DB Moths (tiger and Gypsy/Cirrus) and they fly well on that.

Cliff 1959 Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hi Geoff, sorry slow response, the motor is the Tornado Thumper 4260/06, with a 4s 5000mah battery, not sure about the rest but 13in prop sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Thanks, Cliff. Just a bit more info to store away. I've done a few electric conversions now and they've mostly been successful. I was flying the Gypsy Moth today and I love it. I just hope my 60" Sopwith Pup is as good. I'll be starting the build in just a few weeks once my Ryan ST is finished.
