Default RE: Electric Racing Development Efforts

The Wingman II would make a great electric. I have one with a GP.42 (bushing) that we use in our club racing. It goes real good with this set up, weighs 3.5 pounds with all full size stuff in it, maybe somewhere in the 80-90mph?. It does have light construction, and very cheap/flimsy hardware, the only thing I upgraded was the hinges, the supplied ones were only 1/4" or so wide. There are two currently in the club, no failures on them yet. Since I have other airframes for our club racing, I think I want to convert mine to "E" power if the set up Iceman listed is that cheap and works (where is that from?)
