Birdie 10 electric conversion
This model should be about 35 - 40 oz
300 sq in. I have been planning on using a
Eflite power 10 on 3 cells. I only have 4" of
Ground clearance so prop selection is the controlling
factor.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

If you must use a 7" prop, you'll have to run that motor on 4s or 5s to get enough power. With 7x5 on 4s you'll have 225W/25oz thrust... might be enough. On 5s you'll have 400W/38oz thrust (too much for the motor?)
