Electric Conversion Sig Four Star Forty
To Whom it May Concern:
I would like to convert my gas Sig Four Star Forty and Sig Somethin Extra planes to electric (flying weight of 5.5 lbs for both planes). I have purchased an e-flite 46 engine and Phoenix 60A controller (I should get them in a few days). I am puzzled as to what propeller and battery to use that would maximize flying performance and flight time. If anyone could give me some tips, I would really appreciate it - especially the calculations. In addition, what plane modifications are necessary. Thanks!
Sincerely,
[email protected]
