Hello, gents. I just moved to a place that has lots of nice fields & slopes. After snooping around a little on this forum, I think I want an Easy Glider ... but instead of going with a brushless motor & lipos I'd like to power it with stuff I already have sitting around: a Graupner Speed 400, Zagi ESC, and 8-cell nicad. The two items I'll need that I don't already have are a gear drive and a folding prop to go on the nose. Any suggestions?

I'm willing to pay a little more for a good-quality gear drive and prop, since these items contribute a lot to efficiency, and the rest of the package (other than the airframe) won't cost me anything. Or if it just flat won't get out of its own way with this setup, I'd like to know that, too.

Thanks!

Duane

Buy a 600 direct drive with a folding prop and go. a lot less expensive than g/boxes etc.8 cells is best.

Why not just buy the Easy Glider Electric. The cost between the regular EG and the electric is about $10.

Comes with Speed 400 and gearbox. You can even get it receiver ready.
