Weight to power ratio is the problem with gasoline engines, but of course, easy access for fuel. Is it possible to electrify the model?
Thank you Ekvien! Yes, maybe that would be an option, to make it eléctric. This kit was designed for nitro, but I guess with so many hassles nowadays, it would be more practical to add a new firewall and make it electric. The only challenge I see is replacing the battery every time, since I would have to remove the wings every flight to replace the battery.

what engine/battery combo would be recommended for this project? This is a 1.70m x 1.70 m airplane, a bit heavy.
