Hello Sal!
I'm working on a Guillow's P-40 (the one with the 27" wing span). I'd like to make it a free flight model wtih an electric motor. Obviously I'd like to keep the whole works on the light side. I've flown a few electric RC planes before but with the way the world of electronics has grown astronomically, I am unfamliar with all the "latest and greatest" that I could use to turn this plane into a pleasant and light free flight model. What would you recommend in terms of batteries, motor, and anything else I might need. Would it be something high tech? Low tech? Etc, etc, etc.....
I greatly look forward to reading your response!
Thank you,
Eric
