Opinions on power for a DPM SuperCub ARF
I'm a 30+ year glow user and have just been dabbling in electrics.
Just took delivery on a Dave Patrick Models SuperCub ARF and think it would be a logical conversion to electric. (Don't want to cut-up the cowl to fit my Saito 180.) Here's the Cub's specs: Wing Span: 106 in. Wing Loading: 18.5 ounces per square foot Wing Area: 1,600 sq in. Length: 72 in. Weight: 12.5 and up lbs. (depending on engine) Engine: .90-1.50 glowm 25cc gas In looking around, I found that the SR Batteries' Eindecker is very similar in size/weight, etc. They recommend an AXI 4130/20 motor on 24 NiMH cells. Looks like a nice, cheap system. I'd be interested in any other opinions on what to use for power - keeping in mind that I'm not independently wealthy!

Well, that's precisely what I would've recommended for that plane. A fellow in my club is setting up a Senior Telemaster (8' wingspan) with the exact same power setup, using a 16x10 prop.

Hi,
I would recommend Actro 40-5 or 40-6, it swings much larger props with very good efficiency. I have used in my 1/4 Sig J3, aerotowing etc with Actro 40-6, 10s2 kokam 3270 flight pack, it performs beautifully. For scale flying I have used Menz 19x8"(5700rpm, peak 38A static), aerotowing 4meter scalegliders 19x11" Menz or APC-E, also 20x112 Menz works very well on tow business.On ezone there is a thread about DPM Super Cub conversion.
