ZN line Integral classic electric conversion
It's a convert! From YS 170 CDI to Plettenberg 30/10.

RE: ZN line Integral classic electric conversion
Thanks! I haven't had a chance to weight it just yet, but it felt pretty much the same as my Xigris, both in the air, and handling it. It flew today, and very unspectacular it was. One trim flight, and then it flew 3 x P11 schedules. It flew well, as I remember it did with the YS. It is slightly faster than the Xigris, and much to my surprise, it has a lot less rudder response than I remembered. The integral has a big T-can and thick rudder trailing edge, and the Xigris has neither. I choose to believe it's because a T-can is just decoration, and fat TE's are stoopid 
. No seriously, I'm only guessing.
The ESC is a Kontronik Jive 80+ HV. I'm very satisfied with it. Once you get it programmed with the quirky prog card, it just works.

RE: ZN line Integral classic electric conversion
is that Kontronik the same as a YGE-90HV? Looks suspiciously identical, except color of the heatsink.
My Twister (same setup as yours now) is still t-can less, maybe I need to change this.

A Jive is unlinke no other, that I can assure you. It's waterproof and shock resistant, and rather peculiar, much like all Kontronik products. The heat sink is optional, and with it, it can handle up to 160 amps. (Hence the "+", 80 amps is minimum constant current.)
The BEC capacity is it's greatest asset though.
I'm not sure the T-can makes any difference. I once lost it in flight, and didn't notice.
