James trying to convert a little Falcon 56 (not even a Senior Falcon) which is ideal with no more than a .35 glow engine to even the littlest of gassors is, well its an absurd idea and destined for failure.

Something I do not understand? Why is it that so many new folks who are just starting always insist on reinventing the mousetrap? I cannot think of a better way to trip up anyones entry into the hobby/sport than to start suggesting they do all these silly conversions before they even start. That is ridiculous and I have seen any number do exactly that with the result that they quit and go on to something else to reinvent.

The very worst decisions you can make now is to start modifiying power systems. Make a choice now and go with it. If you want to go ahead with the Falcon 56 then fine don,t even think about changing to gas or electric and no bigger engine than a .35. Ideal would be a new OS .35AX.

You want electric fine then get something that will work for you such as a Sensai from tower.
