OK I tried a search and nothing. Here goes. I currently have a .25 RC trainer and plan on getting a park flyer soon but I cant help but remember my roots back in the seventies with my Testors P40 in the church parking lot during the summer. Enough memory lane now my question. I just happen to have a nice new Red Hawk 380 size electric motor and 3 nice 9.6V 800m packs laying around doing nothing. Will it work to install these items on a nice 049 sized C/L Sig? (they have a nice biplane that appeals to me)Unless I am mistaken it would require only a motor mount,battery mount, switch and wires. Now would a resistor be a good idea to limit the power and allow for longer flights or would this combo only give a few minutes of good flight anyway? My money is tied up in RC stuff pretty bad and I am hoping to do this project on the super down low. By the Way,,,,This forum rocks!!!
