Hi All,
The link above is for a gas/electric specific pattern plane. Of course, you can install whatever motor you like, but the light weight is aimed at the customer being able to install either gas or electric setups. Gas is not quite plug-n-play yet, but in my opinion it is much less daunting to go from glow to gas, than a dedicated glow user to electric. The ZDZ 40 RE setup basically is 23 oz heaview than my Webra 160 setup. On the current plane I'm converting, I will need to transfer 8 oz to the tail, which is being done via elevator mounted servos, moving the battery back to the tail, some lead, etc. Thus, my nice Gator 202 is going to weigh in around 12.25 lbs when finished. However, this plane has over 1100 sq" wing area so it really shouldn't be a problem and I don't plan on flying it in the pattern nats, which is essentially the only time in America when a pattern plane is weighed and measured.
