TF P-47 .60ON THE WAY!! Electric vs dle 20cc???
Hey guys,
I have a TF P-47 .60 (kit) on the way. I was sold on a DLE 20cc and last night at my club meeting a member was trying to sell me on electric???
He was saying a lot of crashes are from motors stalling and electric wont stall!!!
So.... I am asking you guy with more experience what should I do. I am excited to start this model and want to proceed in the right direction!!!!

I can charge the 6-cell Lipo in a half hour.

Your plane looks awesome. I was looking on eclac with a e flight 90 and 90 amp esc
16x8 to 18x8 electric props
85A High Voltage Brushless ESC
- Equivalent to or surpassing the power of a 90-size, 2-stroke, glow engine for sport and scale airplanes weighing 8 to 13 lb (3.6 to 5.9 kg)
- Ideal for 3D airplanes weighing up to 10 lb (4.5 kg)
- Ideal for models requiring up to 1800 watts of power
- High torque, direct drive alternative to inrunner brushless motors
- External rotor design for better cooling
- High-quality construction with ball bearings and hardened 6mm steel shaft
- Includes mount and mounting hardware with two 10mm prop shaft adapters tapped out for 8-32 threads
- Slotted 14-pole outrunner design
Needed To Complete
6S–8S Li-Po or 18-26 Ni-MH /Ni-Cd16x8 to 18x8 electric props
85A High Voltage Brushless ESC

Hopper tanks are usually a smaller tank placed between the main tank and the engine. Provides a more constant fuel flow but is usually used in a pressurized systems and glow engines. Gas engines are equipped with a pumper carb so a hopper tank would not work.

My Feedback: (1)
Lifer,, one reason why your engine runs so good is because of the longer prop (the majority of people would have a 16 inch prop on their DLE20), the larger prop gives more Flywheel effect /more momentum, and a smoother running engine,, a smaller prop that turned higher RPM would give the engine a better chance to loose it's flame.

Gas
Cheaper and more reliable all year round. Don’t have to manage expensive batteries or own several. Buy a gallon of gas, container and add oil then attach a hand crank pump. You’re into it for less than a battery pack and it will last all day, zero maintenance.
If you’re after power comparisons and money is no object then go electric. A brushless system will always make more torque and rpm than a gas or nitro engine if set up correctly. But, these high power systems can be hit or miss and less reliable depending on how they are set up and the quality of the components.
If youre looking to learn electrics then do it. Otherwise go gas for simplicity, reliability and economy.
