RE: Q&A first micro plane
I'll say a couple of things.
For a decent flying electric you'll want at least 75 Watts per pound of flying weight, closer to 100 Watts will get a very aerobatic bird. However, the Guillows kits are known to make lousy flying planes, so do so more research before you actually try to convert one. ;) Try Ezone, they're exclusively electrics and have had many threads regarding Guillows conversions. Good luck, Dennis- |
