Default Electric Pods Now Or Time Warp

Allow me to thoroughly exhaust this thread with on e more comment: The 2X4 is nothing more than a 2X6 with a much shorter wing. If you overlay the plans you will see this. The 2X4 is aptly named, because it flies like a pressure-treated length of 2X4. Way overbuilt (strong/heavy) for its size! They are fun on the slope, but they don't thermal very well, unless the lift is well-developed. Definitely not a first choice for electric conversion, unless you want to pack some serious electrons and zip around doing zoomies.
