Yes, I did search.



I was looking into converting my U-can-do over to electric. It should weigh in about 7.5lb at most when in flying trim

I had intended to use a 6s 4000mah or so set of Li-po's


I was looking at a hacker A50-xxL(maybe the 14L?) or an axi 4130/20


Both motors, with a respective 70 amp ESC, will run about 290.

I was wondering if anyone had done this conversion before, and could offer some feedback on my choice of motors?

COVERTED THE SIG P-51 USING A 4130-16 WITH 7 C 5000 15X10 PROP AND 85 AMP ESC GETTING ABOUT 1200 WATTS @ 48 AMPS. 10 LB TOTAL. GOING TO MADEN SOON WITH THIS SET UP.

If, in theory, that setup were used for 3D, would it hover? I too and looking for a set up for the 60 sized U-Can-Do. Anybody actually have one flying? I've been looking into it, and the cost is pretty darn high just to get started. I also searched and this post didn't show up.

txaggie08,
It will be very difficult to keep the weight to 7.5 lbs as the bare airframe weighs 4.5 lbs. The one I converted (Hacker C50 10XL+6.7:1 on 8S 5300's) weighed in at 9.9 lbs.
I think I could do it again today with lighter servos and 8S 4000's at under 9 lbs. With 6S 4000's ..... I'm thinking 8.25 lbs to 8.5 lbs.

i did one 6 month ago

i used an AXI 5320/28 = 9cells 4000mah 18x8 wood prop (ic) 36amps

i just strapped the battery packs under the landing gear..

i 1st use a 91 2stroke...

much better and alot more control with the electric

if it fits your car then go for it its a very good flyer electric

What did your 9S 5320/28 conversion weigh ?
