thanks for the replies all but I want to build one for electric. The plans call for the plane to weigh 16.5 lbs, which is not feasible.
I'm shooting for 21.5 lbs. and the motor I'm looking at will turn a 21x8 prop 6000 rpm with 21.615 lbs, of thrust. I know that is
only 1:1 power but I just want a sport flier not something I can yank off the ground and fly 150 mph. Any thoughts other than i'm nuts?
