Default RE: Can the Hangar 9 Cessna 182 be converted to EP?

Well the plane is almost done...lil stuff to do. Weight comes in @ 17-1/2 lbs. I haven't had time to work on the plane too much and no time for pictures. Tomorrow I do a motor test to see if there is any heat build up...don't believe there will be however. Love these electrics. Prop will be a 18X12E ...maybe too much but this is where I will start......test flight this weekend if the rain clears. I installed a 120 amp blade fuse system....remove the fuse and the batteries are disconnected....safety first. This means I don't need to worry about making a mistake plugging in the batteries but once on a flying day and if something happens to short or otherwise cause motor problems the fuse will blow causing the cut-off of battery power.
