So I'm new to electric. That forum on this website for electric training helped out quite a bit. I'm sick of the mess of nitro and the cost of nitromethane. SoI bought my first plane that i plan on converting to electric. It's a fun aero superjake. It's technically going to be a conversion to electric as the plane calls for a .71 nitro engine, but I don't think its anything I can't handle. I do however need help choosing the right size battery. I plan on running 3s, butI'm not sure how many amps I should go with. The brand doesn't really matter to me it's flight time I'm after. Here is the motor and ESC I plan on using. It's going to be a little overpowered because this plane according to my numbers is going to weigh somwhere in the neighborhood of 2 1/2 pounds fully loaded up with the battery and everything. I'm on a budget soI'm using some rather generic products(I've mostly been looking for batteries at hobbypartz.com if that helps)
