Need Help Converting a CMP F4U Corsair to Electric
I am building a CMP F4U Corsair 50 and would like to set it up for electric power and need some help sizing the motor, battery, and prop.
Aircraft specs:
wingspan - 58"
weight - 7 lbs.
wing area - 4.4 sq. ft.
wing loading - 1.29-1.41 lbs./sq. ft.
2 stroke 40-50 engine
I would like to use a Hacker A50-12S motor.
Motor specs:
RPM Volt KV - 480
max watts - 1,250
max RPM - 12,000
idle current - 1.8
weight - 345 grams
Would this motor be appropriate for this aircraft? If not what should I be looking at?
What size prop would be appropriate for this combination? (I would prefer a 3 or 4 blade prop)
I'm assuming I will need a 6S battery for this setup. Do you think a 5S would be sufficient?
Any help you can give me in sizing things would be greatly appreciated.
