Default RE: EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ELECTRIC FLIGHT

Hi,

Thanks for this thread. it is tremendusly helpful.

I'm considering converting a Carl Goldberg Decathlon ARF .60 . I'm uneperienced with electrics, but I've flown all my life. 3D and IMAC etc.... since the ARF says to be around 10.5lbs AUW when finished in the manual and I want to fly slow rolling circles and have straight verticals with snapping capability. I have calculated on 100W/lb basis.

I would appreciate your help and suggestion on the following:

motor esc prop pack: I have chosen combo 60 on this site http://www.maxxprod.com/mpi/mpi-264.html site,

pack: TP 4000mah 8S2P on this site http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/main.asp

charger: TP 1010C on this site http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/?si...chrg&scat=LIPO

Please confirm if you think is a good idea and if you suggest a gearbox or direct drive.

thanks in advance......
