Hello Canadagoose.

It looks like your Beagle Pup came out pretty good as

and

indicate..

How did it fly? Are you flying it with skiis now? If you think it was originally for .074 where did the original plan come from? Is that a variation of the RCM #359Beagle Pupplan from the RCL-68 issue (whatever RCL is)?

ORIGINAL: canadagoose

I'll say first off that i don't know anything about powering a plane electrically but want to start in on electrics by finding a suitable motor, speed control and battery for a small 34" span 26" long plane that i'm building called the Beagle Pup. I think the weight should be around 22 oz. Attached is a photo of the plane so far. I think it was originally designed for a Cox .074 to a .10 glow engine with a prop size of 6 -7 inches. This plane will be going on some foam floats for float flying. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
