RE: Seawind conversion

I am just putting a 4120 in a CG Cub. yup it does cog more than the E-Flite 60. I have the two of them side by side. But the rotating case on the E-Flite is about 1/2: longer than the Axi. I would...

RE: Seawind conversion

Hey everyone. There is a video of a successful EP conversion of a Seawind on Ezone. Looks like it flies great. Details are there as well. I am encouraged by this success to say the least.
Look...

RE: Seawind conversion

Anyone else get anywhere with this conversion? I've been stuck on a Cub build that should be done in a few weeks. The Cub uses a motor I have, while the Seawind is going to take a new motor purchase....

RE: Seawind conversion

I ran a Motocalc estimate with the AXI and 8S lipos. I added 100 sq in to make an allowance for the fuse lifting surface (a guess, I know). It looks very possible. At least enough so to keep my...

RE: Seawind conversion

Yup, I agree completely. that's why I'm not giving up. I have a Hacker, C50-14XL that I think will work well, might even be over kill, and a AXI 4120, that I think may be marginal. Being Christmas...

RE: Seawind conversion

Has anyone gotten anywhere on this project? I couldn't find a setup of motor and battery that would work (using motocalc). That is unless I added 10" to each wing. I believe it can be done...

RE: Seawind conversion

Strange that some have very little of no damage and others are beyond hope. I wonder if somebody dropped a container or something. They must not be looking at the kits before they leave the...

RE: Seawind conversion

6.47 lbs is what the basic airframe weighs without any landing gear. Add in a estimate of your radio equip and linkages etc and you can use motocalc to get a estimate of performance and motors...

RE: Seawind conversion

RE: Seawind conversion

Anyone made a progress yet? Mine should show up in a day or so. I'm going through the motor choices now. I have a Hacker C50-14XL, a AXI 2826/12 and a Axi 4120/14 available at the moment. I think...
