I just got my box from Tower last week. I can't make up my mind about engines, though. I had planned on either the Saito 170R or 182T but after a frustrating weekend with my trusty OS 61 doing everything but run while watching the electric guys fly over and over while I dealt with one silly problem after another I've started thinking seriously that just maybe electrons make more sense than nitro. I know there are a couple of electric GP Stearmans out there. What kind of problems have been seen converting this plane to electric? Is there any safe place to put a battery hatch? Also, I would have thought that the additional drag of a bipe would make for really short flights. If someone could steer me to a thread covering the entire electric conversion of a Stearman maybe then I could make a decision. BTW, this would be my first foray into electric. Thanks.
