Default RE: Electric Setup for Summit 60

Nikos,

Does your friend want to retain the original landing gear lengths for the Summit 60? Using shorter props on electric forces a move to higher kV motors to get enough rpm for the props to generate adequate thrust. If you are going to longer gear, then choices for motors will improve. Also, the battery cell count will influece the motor choice, once again tied to kV.
