Starting research on 40size electric stuff,looking at this plane for conversion http://www.nitroplanes.com/newaryeulbi4.html w/4/5s lipo or possibly A123 setup,any motor suggestions would be great,just trying to get ideas price wise and such,now that i have a high zoot batt charger i figure why not,thanks

Make sure your charger is compatible with Li-Ion (A123) they are different than Li-polys. Norm

Yes,i have TP 610,mainly concidering li poly for now,still need more info,thanks

Skip just stick with lipos, its getting cheaper and cheaper and cheaper. Here is what you want to try as a baseline for the plane, brands suggested are something for you to use as referrence:


For 4S, you will have nice power for aerobatics

Motor - AXI 2826/12, DualSky 4260-5
ESC - 60A like Turnigy or Dualsky
Batt - 4S 3,700 t 4,900 mAh 25C, you may need the weight
Prop - 13x8 to 14x7

5S, you are talking about from superb performance to unlimited verticals

Motor - DualSky 4260-5 (hot setup with 12x8 or nuts with 12x10) or DualSky 4260-6, Plettenberg Orbit 25/18, AXI 4120
ESC - 80A like Turnigy or Dualsky
Batt - 5S 3,700 t 4,900 mAh 25C, you may need the weight
Prop - 13x8 to 14x7

Caveat - bipes are a pain in the butt when it comes to EP unless you can fashion out a hatch for access.

Skip, the ad says sold out so you may have missed out. If you have ordered then remember that a123's can be safely left in the airframe and charged in situ. Y ou cannot safely do this with Lipo's. I use both and most of my new stuff will have A123's and they are not cheap in the UK!
