Any suggestions on an E- Substitute for a Pee Wee or TD .020.

You're not making any sense. Can you rephrase that?

This worked for me.

Dang SoarRich! That's a darn good combination. Its almost exactly what I use in my NutBalls that use an 8-inch prop. Perhaps a higher KV version like this one . . .

Which calls for a 6X3 prop would be closer to a BabyBee - and throttled down could be PeeWee-ish (love that throttle channel!).

But another important factor is to use a small li-po. I've had good luck with this one . . .

In any case, the weight with battery and ESC of electric conversions has not been a problem for my .010 through .049 efforts as the larger props AND the throttle make all the difference for me.

(my latest is a foam version of Dereck Woorward's TD .010 Tiny Bit - 3.8 oz, Turnigy 2211-1700kv, 5x4.3, same battery as above)

Be warned Skaliwag, its hard to go back (except for the smell and the noise).

I have a realy tired baby bee that puts out the power of of pee wee. I don't get the "E" part of the question though. Are you looking for a Peee Weee? I think that was just a mis-spelling on feebay, don't think they ever made one.

I'm lookin' to pull around 8oz with 144 sq ins. A prop no bigger than 7 would be nice. I think it looks so ridiculous having a nice tiny airplane with a giant orange paddle from Hunter Douglas on the front.

That's to make it easier for us to spot those who have gone over to the dark side. Sorry, it's the price you pay

It's worked out well with a 7x4 black plastic prop. The nice thing is you get ~10 minute flights and you can really slow it down. It's a lot of fun.

It kills me to say it because I can talk engines all day, and when they start talking electric motors my eyes just glaze over, but the little electrics are the way to go for anything under a 20 size plane.

Raymond, Soarrich.. I havn't left... There is still the has been motor head underneath. I even bought a Super Tigre on Fleabay today. Just working on a tiny one that I want to offer both wet and dry.

You could always wear a disguise, paint the prop black...

My Feedback: (1)

But It is still twice the size it should be, and flicking it won't make it go.

Hm, that could be a problem. That, and you'd have to stick a playing card in it with a clothespin to get that "engine" sound..

But no one has to know that but you. One hand on the prop, the other on the throttle stik. Flip then push. I'll bet after a few tries it'll look convincing!

Connect a speaker and engine sound WAV to the throttle - More stik, more volume for added realism.

You want to turn exactly the same prop? 4.5x2 at what 17k? That's 20 shaft watts and you'll want to look for a motor with a Kv of about 3200 for a 2 cell LiPo. Since the motor will only be about 75% efficient you'll need ~27W input. Power ratings are a bit tricky because many manufacturers overrate their motors. So make sure it can handle at at least 30W continuous.

There is no substitute for a Pee Wee .020 and a quart of 20% nitro, except perhaps a 1/2A diesel and lots of ether. I'm having way too much fun using a modern Rx and one servo to fly these days. Beats the crap out of the Bentert and Baby Adams actuator set up I flew when I was in high school. I know that the only electric flight package I ever bought is someplace in the workshop, but I have no clue where or any desire to find it.

Mr Cox

How about a PeeWee on diesel as a replacement?
It spins a 6x3 prop just shy of 10krpm and I get a lot more consistent runs compared to glow on large props.

It looks like he wants to know the Electric Equivalent size motor to replace a Cox PeeWee or Tee Dee motor... now that wasn't too hard was it after the decipher..??

lildiesel

I have the DDD .020 head and I do use it on my third Pee Wee. As long as I don't try to get anything more than 10K with a 6x3 it works wonderfully. Over compress or needle too lean and there goes a con rod or a crank. Twenty years ago replacing parts was no problem, but now I am very careful with my red tank .020s.
