Walts Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Hi all, I'm considering starting a build of the Peter Rake 56" SE5a from an old RCM&E free plan I've had for donkey years. The plan doesn't show any power train at all, but is so old I believe it was originally designed around a geared can motor and 8 cell nimh pack. Can anyone recommend what would be a suitable brushless motor/prop/lipo set up for this model please? Thanks Wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternately, give George a ring - he's very helpful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walts Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 Thanks GG. I have been on one of my extended breaks from the hobby again, and have forgotten pretty much everything I ever learnt about electric flight 🙄 I'll check out the site you posted. Many thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
