Default RE: Seagull Gee Bee Z

Gee bee ace, your engine 26cc is definitely a right choice. If you really get a wing loading close to 90g/dm you should lend with no problem with an airplane of 180cm of wingspan. Static thrust could be 1:1 to the weight of the aircraft.
What batteries are you going to use? Rx and ignition system?

To keep my gee bee powerfull and as light as possible I decided to use one battery system for both RX and ignition at the same time. I will use TURNIGY 8-15A UBEC for Lipoly (34g) and Li-po ZIPPY 2100mAh 2S3P Receiver Pack (94g) both from Hobbycity.com.
It will give me battery light indicator, safe electronic switch, enough power for servos and ignition. All together weights 128g.
