Greetings E-Flyers. I have been flying RC on and off for over 30 years. Strictly Glow. I would like to try converting one of my planes to e-power, but am at a loss as to what to use. I want to convert a 10 pound aerobatic plane that presently uses a 1.20 four stroke for power. From what I have read, I think I need about 100 watts per pound. What kind and how big a motor? What kind of speed control? What kind of and how many batteries? Do I need a gear reduction unit? How big a prop? These questions are where I get lost. I know that volts times amps equal watts. Can anybody out there shed some light on thes questions for me? Do any of the web sites have a chart that will help? Thanks for any help.
