Conversion B-24
 
I new to electric so bare with me.
Looking to convert a B-24, that has four .15. Where do I find information explaining conversion. I have read that 100-135 watts per pound of weight for flight. Not sure if that is right.
Also, are there any sites explaining how to make accurate conversions from glow to electric.

Plane weight should be around 6-8lbs - 82inch span.

Any help would be great!!![:-]

No takers eh. The easiest way to convert is to look at the Eflite line of motors. The name of the motor is what it is equivalent to in terms of glo, ie you would want to use Power 15's. Check the link, it will tell you everything you will need x 4.

As far as watts/lb goes, scale flying for the Liberator would be around 70 to 75 watts. 100 watts/lb gets you a sport flier, over that will give you 3D power. I like to have 100watts/lb at least even though it isn't scale.
