Hi guys,
Iv'e nearly finished my second building project the flair Attila (a bit harder then my first the westwings pinto) which is a very nice looking plane its says in the instructions to use a 0.25ic engine ,as im converting it to electric have a few questions hopefully a couple of you may know or can help me with ! : the weight is 1600grams max and has a 46" wingspan.

1: what electric motor would be ok ,ive been told that a TP2915 which is 930kv 35A at max 400w would be ok?? turning something like a 10x6 or 11x6 prop

2: the other question is which lipo's would i be better with a 3 cell or 4cell ,thing is as this is not a 3d machine would 3 cells do the job


will post pictures when finished
thanks

Hardnut,
3 cells will do the job. I fly a P51 Mustang @ 48in on an AXI 2820/10 and it goes d++n near vertical!
