The reason for the electric conversion is so we can fly it in the fairgrounds behind our house. We could probably get away with glow power, but I feel more comfortable with something quiter. We got some help from our RC Instructor/Mentor Dave and tested the electric setup with a wattmeter. The Great Planes Rimfire 28-30-1250 motor, 25SS ESC and 11.1V 3S 2100Mah setup drew 14.5amps on a 8x3.8 APC prop and 19amps on a 8x6 APC. We weighed all the components minus the covering, nelson litefilm, and two servos and a reciever (which weight less than 1.5oz) and came up with a wopping 1lb10oz. If the model AUW is 2 lbs, it should give us 200 watts per lb. Very good aerobatic performance.
