RE: Kit for electric power
As far as I know, nobody's done the Nieuport 28 yet.
I've got the N-28 in a box waiting for just such a conversion project. The August issue of MA also mentioned that Greg Gimlick is going to be doing a BUSA N-28 electric conversion. I PM'ed him about it last night as a matter of fact.
He said he'd consider doing a build/conversion thread on here. I will be watching. It is a much more feasible idea now than a couple years ago when I bought my kit. We now have the introduction of the big, relatively inexpensive AXI 53xx series outrunners, and LiPos are getting better and better. A midsized geared or belt driven brushless motor would work well too. I may still do mine with NiMH packs because it will certainly need all the noseweight it can get.
