I want to go the other way: convert an EP L-4 to glow. The problem is the instructions for the EP L-4 are vague in Chinese and only specify a "36 size". My ignorance doesn't allow me to translate that to x motor, y ESC, and zz battery. Since I already have 3 2100 LiPo 3s batteries, it would also be convenient to have a motor and ESC that could use them.
I have MotoCalc and find it to be overly complex and slanted toward expensive products available in the EU.
That's why a simple chart would be better for me.

When "converting" a plane from electric to glow, which this forum is all about, just look at the wingarea, total weight and what performance you are after etc. Then it is usually fairly easy to pick a glow engine that will do the job.
