Okay, I'll be documenting my build of my big GP Super Stearman here. Hopefully a little better than I did the last one.

The one major difference is that I'm going full electric on this one, and I'm going to do it right. I've been researching the process of going electric for the past week, and I'm convinced it can be done right without breaking the bank. I'm also convinced now that there are a lot of self-proclaimed experts out there that are mostly lucky that their planes fly, because they don't really know what's inside their motors and why. I'll get into that later.

Here's what I bought, and I'm waiting for it to arrive: An AXI PM 5325/24 motor, and their 125 Amp Electronic Speed Control (ESC)

I'm still gathering parts for the build, so it'll be a while before I start in earnest on this Stearman, but I'll try to make sure those of you who are interested in building an electric bird can find some useful tips. I'm a late bloomer when it comes to electrics. I've flown and worked on my friends' models, but this my first. Still, I plan to do it right. I've seen some bad setups that still fly okay, so a carefully worked out setup should be a pleasure to fly once it's done.

I'll keep you posted as things progress. I've gotta dust off that camera, too.
