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?
I know absolutely nothing about electric powered planes but I'm thinking that with an electric you're gonna generate a lot of heat in that thing. I also think you might need a 24" prop too. A buddy of mine had a couple of Nosen P51s. It is a BIG boy. I think the G62 would be marginal on power.
