I'm well-versed in converting electric airplanes, but my electric helicopter conversion knowledge isn't great... My gut tells me that it's going to take a hot little outrunner like an AXi 2820/8 and a 3S or 4S pack around 3200mAh, but I'm a lot fuzzy on the gearing.
So, any tricks to figuring this out?
There is a speed calculator link on this site, you can use this to calculate RPM on, Engine, Main rotor, and tail rotor. Try a search for "HeliWizard Calculator".
