Default RE: Top Flite B-25 ARF (Tecnical, tips, suggestions)

Guys,

DO NOT follow the directions from Top Flite on the Electric conversion of the B-25. I followed that conversion to the letter. On the maiden flight I ran through all the runway, took off on the limit. The plane took off softly with almost no lift. I was able to turn, fly-by over the field but on the next turn, even trying my best, the plane stalled. I lost it behind a building, cut off the engine. By a miracle, it broke some minor stuff and one of the rudders. I couldn't help myself not being very angry with Top Flite suggesting such a lame conversion. 5s is simply not enough power to sustain flight with the recommended 14 x 7 Master prop. I believed and got screwed. Take my advice and donĀ“t make the same mistake.

Well, I'll reconvert it to glow and I'd like some strong advice on what engines to use. Please, help me. Help me good!

Thanks,

Flavio
