Hello People,

Has anyone tried to convert a 2c model to electric?

I have a CAP 232 /10 that has a recomended 2c 10-- 15. WS 36" Length 31" weight 25 -- 28oz.Wing area 228sq in.

However I can not find any info on the details.( Motor, Batteries etc)

If anyone can steer me in the right direction, I would be most grateful.

Many thanks,

Sidekick

You definitely want a geared 400 and 10 cells.

Note that this set up pulls a lot of amps. Get high amps rated ESCs!

For batteries, go KAN.

Hey CSISFUN,

Thanks very much for your assistance, I will go for that and see how we go.

You didn't say what reduction gear, so I suppose it isn't that critical.

Again, many thanks,

No problem, I just came back from flying.

My friend flew his Piper Cub (15 sized) on a 400 Direct drive with 7 cells. It flew.

Must mean that it can't hurt to go 10 cells, 400 gearbox.

As for reduction, I have no idea.
