Default RE: motor for rubber FF conversion?

Rick

It is possible, and has been done. I'll see if I can find the article... I think it was in MicroRC mag.

I wonder if you would be better off going with a "real" radio and a Slow Stick. The reason I was able to fly the Pup before destroying it has a bit to do with 25 years of RC and 5 years playing with rubber-powered indoor planes. Even though my first flights ended prematurely, the Pup was close enough to "right" to not end up with too much damage. I'm not trying to talk you out of this project (I have been looking at the Tiger now myself), but I worry as I have seen too many potentially good pilots give up on this hobby due to a combination of poor plane choice and lack of training.

As far as I have heard, with a bit of help for the first few flights, the LT-25 is an excellent trainer. If you could find an experienced pilot to help you learn to fly it your success rate with the little stuff would be much greater.

Just a thought
