Default RE: U Can Do .46 Electric Conversion

<span style="font-size: small">Idid my first attempt to convert my .46 UCDto electric. I tried to keep the need to modify anything on the orginal airframeto accommodate the electric powerplant. All the components Iused to convert to electric are from HK and came out of a friends crashed Reactor.

</span><span style="font-size: x-small"><span style="font-size: small">Motor - Turnigy AerodriveXp 42 SKSeries42-50 650Kv / 1150W
ESC -HK SSSeries 60 -70A
SBEC- Turnigy 5A(2-7S lipo)
Battery - Turnigy 3s 3000mAh 20-30C (2X in series)

AUW after mod less prop is 6.625lbs. (Imay add a separate lipo for rx power later, but for now Iam runnin off my flight batteries.

Iwill try to prop this combo to get 170W/lb @ 50Aon 6S. Idon't have an onboard data logger or power meter, so my values are on the bench only.

Is 170w/lb too little, too much or shouldbe just fine?

I'll try to postmore info and pics as soon as Ican.

Aloha,
Les</span>
