RE: Hobby Lobby Skylark e-Conversion
Mike,
RCU is the place to be for glow-to-electric conversions! You can sign up right on-line from the "EDITORS" menu selection at the top of the window.
My Skylark e-conversion will use components available at [link=http://www.hobby-lobby.com/eflight.htm]Hobby Lobby[/link] from their [link=http://www.hobby-lobby.com/eflight.htm]Electric Flight Accessories[/link] list.
Here is what I am using:
[ul][*] WZH001 Skylark ARF Pattern Airplane[*] PM412014 AXI 4120/14 External Rotor Brushless Motor[*] JECA70P Jeti "Advance" 70 Amp Opto Brushless Controller, 6-16 Cells[*] B2400C8 8 Cell CP-2400SCR NiCad packs (2)[*] HTS085MG Hitec HS-85 "Mighty Micro" Metal Gear Servos (4)[*] RCD120 Hitec "Electron" 6 Ch. Micro FM Receiver[*] HT0096 Aileron "Y" Connector and two HLAE322 24" Extensions[*] PM41001 Aluminum Motor Mount for AXI 41 Series Brushless Motors[*] MJ4706 Collet Prop Adapter for 6mm Shaft, M8[*] KFS001 Ultimate BEC[*] DEA1300 Deans Ultra Plug connectors, pair
[/ul]
I will be experimenting with various APC prop sizes from 13x8 to 15x8. At this time, I am not 100% sure which AXI motor mount will work best on the Skylark so I have both to try. It is possible that the PM41001 mount may not fit in the fiberglass cowl. I'll report on that later.
