Electric conversion help
 

Hi everyone! I got this kit for free and wanted to make it electric.... how do I do it? I already own a 6s 5000mah Lipo for my heli... is this good?

Jeremy,
Something like an AXI 4130/16, Jeti Spin 66, and a 15x10 or 14x12 APC-E should make a nice combo with your 6S 5000 mAh lipo pack.

Thanks!!! What do you think about a Castle Creations PHX 45?
Do you think 750 grams for a batrry is to heavy?
What kind of flight times am I looking at with this kind of setup?

Thanks;)

The AXI can draw 60A... so the CC45 might be too small. But the propell-numbers Ed gave you calls for far less Amperes. The AXI might use a 18x12 propeller on 6S to get all the juice from the motor, but you don`t need it!
The good thing with the Jeti Spin is the onboard switched BEC which will supply enough to run all your servoes, saving the need for an UBEC or separate RX-battery. Both money and weight saved.
I would have aimed for at least 700 Watt, and this means you have to draw appr 35 A from that AXI on 6S. This is only half the power that motor CAN deliver. I might have choosen the 4120/18 instead... 90 gram less weight and suits your 6S battery well. And it is able to deliver more than 1000 Watt.
As long as we say your max Amp-draw is 40 A your 6S5000 will give you 14-20 minutes flighttime ;) One of my operative acro-planes draw 44A max from 3700mAh batteries, and the flighttime is 10-12 minutes and still have juice left when landing.

Yes, the battery is heavy for such a small model, but I have a feeling it will work anyway. Save weight choosing the lighter AXI, and use as light servoes as possible without using too weak servoes.

HELLO ALL , I got a ULTRA STICK 40 at a swap meet and would like to make it into an Electric I know alot of motors can get the job done but what is a good motor ESC combo would work without spending an arm and a leg...I do not want it underpowered ... GOT any ideas ?

Lithium - I have the H9 Miss America. It flies great on 6S with an AXI 4130/16 and Phx80 and APCE 15X10. You don't need the HV. You will need a flight battery pack for the radio or a separate BEC.
It is a great plane. You will love it.

Hi Guys, I am going to need a lot of help here! I have several 60 to 120 size planes and have been buying the big AXI and E-flite motors to match each plane along with the ESC for them. I have a good selection of LIPO batteries and good chargers, but now I need to make them all run and fly. I am way over my head, but I couldnt help myself. I feel like an RC Junkie. I would like to know if there are any good how too books or vidios to help me to build and set up these planes. I am not around any other electric fliers in my area. and I know very little about this. If anyone could call me, I will call them back on my dime. 928-221-7447 HELP, Jim
