RE: Eclipse conversion to electric
I now have another eight flights on the Eclipse after the above modifications. The plane now weighs in at 10# 14oz. The afternoon ambient temperature was 94F. Under these conditions, the max. motor temperature was 132F (gear box) and batteries at 116F. Below are some pictures of the plane and modified battery supports. I have been asked questions about the bottom side of my wings. I use Monokote neon yellow. Help me see the other side of the wing. I did not experience any problems using the MK 55mm wheels on a grass runway.
