Default RE: gas conversion to electric

Yup, I just finished converting my 110 to electric. It was REALLY easy to convert.

Here is what I did:-

Cut out a new lightened ply crutch with 6mm carbon rod spine stiffener (I also have a full carbon crutch I made to try).
Installed a MEGA 16/15/3 brushless motor with a Phoenix 25 ESC.
Powered with a 7cell KAN 950 NIMH pack.
Only genuine part is a Lite machines 32pitch 9 tooth motor pinion (cos I couldnt get one anywhere else).
Cut down the canopy to half the weight.
I also swapped the arlton gyro for a HH gyro.

All up weight including batt pack is 730grams (25.8oz). 6-7min flight.

I can send you a PDF plan of the new crutch if you want.

S.M.
