Default RE: conversion from.25 to electric help?

What are you thinking of converting? What is the wing area?

I have a TT Slow Tiger 51 that was rated for a .25 and did a conversion with Mega 22/20/3, 2.5:1, 12-2000's, and 12x6 prop. It has a bit more power than it needs but is not a "prop hanger."

I also converted a Seniorita to Aveox 1409/2Y, 3.7:1, 12-2000's, and 11x7 to 12x8 prop. Still floats nicely and doesn't fly "heavy."

I guess it depends on your budget too. The brushed motors will also work well, many with 7 - 8 cell packs.

Just put the specs in a program like MotoCalc and run with it.

Keep 'em hummin'
