Default RE: Balsa USA Bristol M1 conversion to electric - how to?

I'm not really up on Axi's (had a bad one early on), but I believe either motor would work well. remember these old rotary engined birds had very large props, so a lower pitch larger diameter prop is best. I think that when I had the geared set-up on my Bristol I had an 18/6 prop on it. Plenty of ground clearance. I plan to try a 14/6 this season as the 13/8 gives very un-scale flight speeds!
