Default RE: Limbo Dancer conversion on a budget

Hi,

I found some specs on the Limbo Dancer [link=http://www.bmaps.net/reviews/limbo/limbo1.html]here[/link].

Name: Limbo Dancer
Aircraft Type: Fun Fly
Manufactured By: Balsacraft
List Price: RRP £49.99
Available From: Ripmax Stockists. Tel. 0181-804-8272 for Details
Undercarriage: Tail Dragger, Skid at Rear
Wing Span: 51"
Wing Chord: 14.3/4"
Wing Area: 750 sq.in. (5.2 sq.ft.)
Wing Loading: 11oz/sq.ft.
Fuselage Length: 41.1/2"
Tailplane Span: 18"
Tailplane Area: 144 sq. in. (1 sq.ft.)
Side & Down Thrust: 0'
C of G From L.E.: 3.1/4"
All Up Weight: 3.1/2 lb (56 oz)

I would use a geared Kyosho Endoplasma car motor to power this 3lb plane with your car packs. In fact, you may want to use the same system often seen in a stock E3D by GWMP [link=http://www.gwmp.net/]here[/link]. It packs plenty of power for very little cost.

Good luck!
