Default Need an engine for an Electrostick...


I've got a couple OS FP's .20,.25 & .40 I've been trying to find a "quick to build" ARF that would utilize these older plain bearing engines.

The Electrostick looks like it might make an interesting Glow conversion. Add a ply firewall and bolt it together.

Hot, Fast and Cheap, kinda like my ex-wife....


SPECIFICATIONS
GPMA1574/ARF; GPMA7500/Rx-R
Wingspan: 52.75 in (1340 mm)
Wing Area: 589 in² (38 dm²)
Weight: 3-3.5 lb (1360-1587 g)
Wing Loading: 11.7-13.6 oz/ft² (36-42 g/dm²)
Length: 45.5 in (1155 mm)
Both require: 4-channel radio, receiver, 11.1V 3200mAh LiPo battery, charger
ARF also requires: 3 micro servos, out-runner brushless motor, 45A brushless ESC

here's a link

With a 52 span go for the 40. add the second firewall , add some tri stock between the the firewall and fus, lot of room, chop out the battery tray
add a new tray to hold the tank at the right height and of course brush the front inside area with thinned epoxy to fuel proof, I did their beaver and have an enya 25 diesel in it my KMP beaver will get either the OS32 SX or ST34, I have done some smaller stuff too the hobby lobby little telemaster
has on TT10 diesel conversion great park flyer, just go over all inside seams with epoxy. If you go back a few pages on the diesel site you will sse the beaver conversion martin

I've got the same problem. I have a .19 that I think will go into a Brodak ARF Super Clown and my .40 is going into a Brodak ARF Oriental.

I have an ex-wife just like yours. Was her name Sandra?

Looking at the pictures of the model on the Great planes web site it appears to be pretty well built. Monokote covering, decent hardware, etc.

Tower has them for $130, maybe if they come out with a coupon...

Bill, these are\were engines that I have on some older control line models that I converted to control line and keep the carburetors. The .20 is on a Flite Streak and the .40 is on a Ukey...
They still run good, why not try and get some use out of them...[sm=thumbup.gif]
