Converting 30cc Aeroworks Edge to Electric
I have a 30cc Aeroworks Edge 540 that is sitting here ready to fly without an engine. My brand new OS33 blew a liner and ring. They replaced it and I sold it. I had decided to wait for the new DA 35 that was coming out the first of June. Now it’s mid-July and they are saying "many more" weeks.
I have some questions:
I have some questions:
- If I wanted to convert this airplane to electric can you recommend the motor, ESC and batteries?
- Will I still get the same performance as a gas motor (or better??)? Equivalent to a 35cc gas.
- Will this cost me more that a gas motor?
- Can I use my same props that I would use for gas?
- I use the Hitex X4 charger. Can I charge the bigger batteries fast enough at the field to fly more than one time in a trip out?
