What motor for this sailplane? Opinions please......
I have a Premier Graduate in a box and I'm anxious to build it.It can be built standard Rudder/Elevator for winch/hi-start or with electric power.
What motor/prop/speed control should I be thinking about purchasing?
I have a Jeti 35 speed control that works great in my E. conversion Olympic 650....but the Master Airscrew flight pack is staying put in the Oly.
I may consider reusing this Jeti 35 - or a Great Planes Electrifly "soft start" on/off switch, but I'm open to suggestions for new speed control/motor/prop/combos ).
Thanks everyone.
Here's the details on this sailplane:
96 inch Wing Span
800 Sq.In.
40 Oz. +-
Airfoil appears to be a flat bottom E205
------------------------------------------------
The instructions in this kit suggested a Graupner #1165 System, 9.6V Speed 700 Turbo...ungeared, direct drive with a simple mechanical on/off switch operated off the elevator servo.
Blip it up "on", blip it down "off".
