Sometimes it's just easier to start a thread.... I've been reading threads and researching for days and I'm rather confused.

I'm looking for a 60 to 90 size bird to convert to electric, which will be mainly used for IMAC aerobatic type flying, little to no 3D. I've had a couple Extras both in glow and gas and love the way they fly but would like to try an Edge (or even a Yak). I'm not locked into the Edge, so anything would do. I've had my eye on the Wild Hare 73" Edge, but would like to explore other options before pulling the trigger.

I will be running A123 packs, nothing built yet - just three DeWalt packs sitting on the bench waiting to be converted.

I was kind of thinking along the lines of an E-Flite 110 (or equivalent), CC HV 85a ESC, and something like 8-12s 1 or 2p. I am waiting on getting an airframe in order to figure out final motor/esc/battery selection.

So, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Bob - for your set up you want to go with a 1/4 scale plane of about 11 lbs (12S) or a 90 sized plane of about 9 lbs (8S), look for the following:

World Models Extra 330 60
Carl Goldberg Extra (90 sized one)
Carl Goldberg SU26
Extreme Flight Yak 54

Nitro planes has a 69" yak 54 that would be great for Imac. $199, its a knock off of the aeroworks 120 sized yak, but smaller. Mine came out to 10 lbs.

mpope1, that looks interesting. What gear do you have in yours? Have you flown it yet?

Thanks.
