Status: offline 		I'm anxious to hear how this thing flys! I bought one at the LHS this fall, and was worried about the airframe being up to an I/C engine, so I put a Park 400 outrunner in, with lipo battery. I had a Tiger 2 with a PAW .40 on it, but crashed it pretty hard and wrote it off. Now I'm finishing off a Tiger 60 with an OS 61FX. Love those Tigers!

Status: offline 		Ooops, that's an hefty 58% weight increase...

I've converted a Super Chipmunk (400 ARF too) to glow and it lost weight in the process (compared to the recommended weight, I don't have any electric stuff myself). But then I used a Norvel .074 engine and it has plenty of power for about the same wing area as your's (242 inch^2). The electric 400 engine is more like a 1cc engine in terms of power I think, so an MP Jet .061 might have been better suited?

Status: online 		thats about 3 1/2 0z increase but also a .10 engine maybe 9x4 or 9 x5 prop, do not think it will be an issue will also check scale with a calibrated weight to make sure no wt error

martin

some of the weight from the dural aluminum landing gear was a very lightweight wire gear stock and engine of course

also an MPjet 061 is 94Gm the TT10 with muffler 164 thats a bit more than 2oz
