I posted this over at rcgoups and & have recieved some good info. Thought I would run it by the members here and see what develops.
I have been working a Wescraft B-17 for some time now, but it's found it's way to a back burner for the last 7-8 months or so, and will be there for a while. But, I have recently been musing about possibly converting it electric, now that it is becoming much more affordable.
The model has a 125" wing span and will weigh about 40 or so pounds. Most builders are flying these with .70, 4 strokes, or .40-.46 2 strokes.
Just curious to hear a few ideas, and thoughts on this conversion. What motors, ESCs, batteries, etc, will do the job. Would like to turn 13", 3-blade props if it's feasible.
Here's a few pics of my progress so far:
