I just bought an EAA Bipe that was already built and flown. It had a large fuel engine as the origional power but came without power.

I am going to "electrofly" it using a Turnigy C5056-400 motor, Turnigy Plush 80 Amp motor control with a built in battery eliminator (ESC) that can handle up to 6 standard servos.

All this is to be powered with a 6s2p (about 20V fresh off charger) 4600 mAh A123 battery pack which should give me plenty of power and should give me about 10 min flying time.

I haven't weighed the plane yet, but think the all up weight will be about 8 lbs.

I am still wondering what propeller to use, the motor can handle a 18x7 prop but I think that a 16x7 or 17x7 would be enough. At full throttle I should get about 8000 RPM.

Does any one who has flown it have any prop suggestions?
