Default RE: Sig Wonder Designed by Bruce Tharpe - 2nd Build


ORIGINAL: foosball_movie

I'm thinking about converting a Wonder to Astro 020 electric power
A pilot at our field converted (or perhaps created) a Wonder to electric. Not sure what he had in it, but it turned a 9x9 prop and was a rocket. I have a .25 OS FX, but it only had a 8x6 APC prop and wasn't able to keep up.

He stuffed all the batteries forward of the CG and created a little hatch in the top/front of the fuselage to access the batteries.
Get us some pictures. I have considered going electric on the wonder. I don't know if the snow would cause any problems with the electric motor.
