RE: Electric Conversion Question
Though it is out of stock at the moment, this is an excellent flyer....

It is smaller than the 40S, but it works great with a 480 sized motor and 11.1v batteries.
I get a lot of inquiries about mine when I bring it out to the field since it flies much like the larger plane.
Remember though with electrics you'll want to have multiple battery packs on hand.
There are several "standard" sizes that many planes will use...
e.g. 2200mAh 11.1v 3C batteries can be used as is for most 480 sized planes or there abouts.
Combine two of them with a simple "S" adaptor to create a 2200mAh 22.2v 6S pack for a larger .30-.40 sized electric... this does NOT destroy or modify the packs.
Combine two of them with a simple "P" adaptor to create a 4400mAh 11.1v 3S 11.1v pack for something like the SuperSportster EP ( I get 30 minutes of flight time on one set of packs!!! )
Combine Four of them with BOTH S and P adaptors to create a 4400mAh 22.2v 6S2P pack for a 90mm EDF Jet, etc.
Multiple uses out of one group of similiar packs.
This is why it pays to purchase matched sets of LiPo packs.
