Hi all,

This plane dry comes out at 27 ounces has a 45 inch wing span, 650 sq inches wing area. I want to make it electric what would you recommend for a motor and battery size.

have absolutely no idea, but it's fun to finally find you some where on line , ole buddy!it's been to long since i have seen your smiling face!

About time you came out of the woods Wing. How you be? Email me your phone number.

Hi there,

I saw one of these in S&E Modeler a few months back with an AstroFlight 805G brushless and 8 - 3000mAH Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. It claimed 12-15 min flights.

I think this sounds about right, maybe overkill.

Try this link for a good 8 cell motor controller:

Belt drive, brushless..and reasonable. I am going this way next.

If you want to go cheaper, do an Endoplasm car motor, 8 cells and a Master Airscrew gearbox (you can get the Endo and the gearbox through Tower Hobbies).

Hope this helps.

I have a Thunder Tiger Lazy Cub that I am flying on 8 2000mAh cells and an MEC turbo 10 plus motor. This plane is for a 26 four stroke (like the GeeBee Tiger Moth) so I think it is about right. I think this setup is a bit overpriced based on what I am seeing out there.

I've been looking at the Hacker B40-9S with 4.4.1 ratio and a 10x6 prop on 8 cells. Any experience with this set-up?

I've not seen the Hacker setup. I have worked with Aveox motors before.

Where did you see the Hacker? Can you send me a link?

I have seen the hacker name show up often, I would like to check them out. Please let me know if you get this setup and how it works.
