I will be starting a TF Cessna 182 when I return home from FL in Feb . It will be an electric conversion also. I have already purchased an E-flight Power 110. I am not throughly satisfied by my selection, but I am afraid a Power 60 is too small. What bothers me is the size of the prop I will end up using. It would appear that a 17 inch prop will be used, and I am not sure about operating clearance. Any input would be appreciatted.
Not real familiar with the E-flight motors. I'm still deciding which motor to go with. Right now I'm tossing between a 4130 and a 5320, both AXI. Most of the intricacies of the electric power systems are still a mystery to me. My biggest concern with getting the motor this early is the weight of the aircraft. I've seen a fair amount of fluctuation in different people's builds and want a more concrete weight to work with.
I'll try to get a measurement for you tomorrow as far as the clearance goes. Are you looking at a two blade? Right now I'm still set on a three blade prop to ensure it's still scale.
