RE: ace simple series convert to electric???
I agree w/r1Morris,
A brushless w/lithiums would work, however you are spending alot of $$$ to make a heavy plane fly adequately.
I have an Ace Ultimate w/an OS .25..........outstading filer!!!
I would save my brushless gear for already light airframes to take full advantage of their purpose.
I personally thing the Ace planes are siuted for gas only. The lightenting efforts usually equal the time spent biulding the entire kit.
Just my 2 pennies.
