Default RE: top flite 60 size war bird conversion?

There are literally hundreds of different combinations that'll do that, but you could be a little nicer in your request... "if so, make and model of each component" You could've at least phrased it as a question instead of a command

Since we're talking warbirds, 100 Watts per pound is a good power loading to shoot for. You're looking for 1000 to 1200 Watts. 30 cells at 40 Amps. So that's either 30 NiCd/NiMH cells or 9 LiPoly cells.

I have the perfect motor for you. AXI 4130/20. The specs at http://www.modelmotors.cz say it can turn a 14x10 2-blade prop at the power level you'll need. For each blade, drop an inch in pitch or diameter, so it should be okay on a 14x8 4-blade prop, or perhaps even a 15x6. Finding either of those props might be tough, though, as 4-blade prop selection is quite limited.
