Electrifying a great planes extra300 .46 size
Hi,
I have an extra 300 that I had powered before with a thrunder tiger .46. It was fine, but I wanted more power. it was a kit and it has not flown in 12 years but everything looks fine.
It has a 58 inch wingspan.
I started electrics with an apprentice this spring and so far love it. I have a good charger.
If I want to electrify it, I found that an Eflite 46BL would do the trick with a 5s pack (or maybe a slighly more powerful motor). The Plane weighed about 6 lb with the glow engine, and would be about the same or slightly heavier with electrics.
The battery would likely be a 5s 4000 or 5000 mah pack.
What motor / power pack would you suggest?
DO you suggest I buy an ARF or another Kit instead? If so for what reason?
I want to try an aerobatic electric plane but will only electrify the extra300 if it is appropriate.
Thanks!
