RE: Balsa USA Bristol M1 conversion to electric - how to?
I'm enclosing a few shots of my M1a conversion. Power initially was an Aveox 336/38/3 with a 4:1 MaxCim gearbox pushing an APCe 15/8 prop with 12 A123s. Presently it is flying with the Aveox DD on 5 LiPos and a 13/8 prop. both set-ups provided plenty of power, but the DD set-up gives just a bit more "snap." ESC is a Sivler Series 60 from Great Planes with a Kool Power UBEC. The motor mount is a .40 size glow aluminum mount with a hose clamp. I did reinforce the flimsy stock firewall. Weight and balance are not an issue becaue of all the room in the fuse. If I can help more let me know.
