Eclipse conversion to electric
I dinged my #1 Eclipse at the Temple contest last month. While I was making the fuselage repairs, I converted it to electric. I am using the Hacker C50 14XL 6.7:1 motor, the Hacker Acro 90 speed controller and the Thunder Power TP600 10s3p batteries. The project can in a tad bit over the weight limit at 11#-6oz. I can get it under the weight limit by eliminating my repaired wheel pants, installing a BEC, lightened TruTurn spinner and aluminum nut. It's still raining here in Houston, so I'll try to test fly the plane next weekend. Here are some before pictures.
