Status: offline 		Hi all,

I have an Aquila that I need to electrify. Specs are 810 sq. in., 99 inch ws, 7.8 oz/sq ft before drive train. So here's what I'm looking at, please tell me if I'm on the right track.

From hobby-lobby:
Graupner 480 motor w/controller
Planetary 3.33:1 gearbox
Graupner Cam prop (size??) and prop adapter
And probably a 7 cell pack, failry light weight.

So is this enough power to climb the Aquila and provide decent run times? Do I need to step up to a 500 motor, or will a 400 speed motor suffice?

I could also use reccomendations on which prop adapter/spinner/prop to use.

Thanks for your time.

-B
