converting a glow df to electric.. possible??
ok i have aquired an older df airplane, a saber. Fiberglass fuse, foam wings.I have no clue as to the manufacturer was.
I got a fan unit with it, but no engine, etc. Plane was never finished. I was wondering if it will be possible to convert this to electric??
The fan unit that came with it is approx 4 3/4 inches across and appears to be a 60 to 70 size fan unit. And 5 blades. I canot find the manufacturer on the fan unit either.
Does anybody have any ideas to engine size, who makes a big fan unit to put in this ones place, batteries ( lipolly ) etc??
Any ideas would be great. Thanks

RE: converting a glow df to electric.. possible??
If it were mine I would approach Robert Wagoner at Electric Jet Factory (www.ejf.com) and ask for his advice. I'm guessing he would suggest one of the Schubler fans with a Neu motor and LiPo battery pack.
Of course, in return for his advice, I'd buy the equipment from him.
Another thought is post this question on the Ezone. There is a lot more traffic over there that deals with EDF's in general.
Rest assured you are not the first to attempt this conversion. Somebody at either EJF or the Ezone has done this exact switch.
