Status: offline 		Hello all, I just recieved my Arf over the weekend and it is a beautiful plane. Tonight we cut out the existing engine beams and opend up a 2" hole for motor cooling and found that the 3200 Kokam cells fit thru the exising hatch. Right now it will be powered with a E-Flite 46 5S Kokam 3200's 12x 8 master airscrew electric prop pictures to follow.

Status: offline 		I have yet to take pics; but the plane now has 25 flights on it. I switched to a 10 x 7 apc electric prop turning 10,600 at WOT pulling 28 amps and I am getting 8 minute flights on a 5s 1p 3200 pack. I left out the back window for cooling and the pack is barelly wrm when I land. I have 1/8 of down elevator mixed in with full flaps and wished they were bigger as the only complaint with the plane other than the spindally gear but since I fly off pf a paved field it is no problem but might be for grass ops. I'll try and post pics over the holiday weekend. If you have any questions just ask .

I am reading your post nearly 6 years after the fact. I have been slowly rehabing the Skylane 62 of a dearly departed friend (I guess I am trying to finish some of his unfinished projects. Will anybody be trying to finish mine someday?). What would your motor recommendation be today? I hate the thought of submitting the plane to oil once again. I expect it will see little actual flying. I hope you even see this message! Denny Goodrich

Ron,
I am reading your post nearly 6 years after the fact. I have been slowly rehabing the Skylane 62 of a dearly departed friend (I guess I am trying to finish some of his unfinished projects.

I have one of those projects too.  Mine is a kit that I started in about 1972 and screwed up the ailerons and was not sure how to proceed.  It is one that I do want to finish though as those were nice flying planes.  It is a bit late now but would like to have added flaps to mine.  I do not have any electrics at all but would like to acquire at least one and this would be a nice plane to start with.

Good luck with your project.  Some pictures of your progress would be interesting.
