Sportsman Aviation Waco 30 -Electrification
Just bought a Sportsman Aviation Waco 30 ARTF which I intend to modify for Electric using an Axi 2826/10 on a 4s Lipo
, 3100mah pack with a 12 or 13 inch prop. The amp draw aim is 25-30 amps at full throttle. which will give 100A. plus per Lb. Thats the Theory.
On examination of the model, my first impression is of good build quality,although a bit on the sturdy side. My concern is that it is not immediately obvious where to make a hatch to fit the flight pack . I expect someone out there has already gone through this hoop, and would much appreciate your experience on this and any other comments on the general electric conversion and flight characteristics of this lovely little Bipe.
Cheers.
