Default House of Blasa ( AT-6 ) HELP!!!

<span style="font-family: Tahoma"><span style="font-size: larger">Hi everyone. Ihave a House of Balsa AT-6 Texan and Iwant to build it with an electric set-up. Is there anyone out there that has done this, and if so can you share some info as to what would be a good motor for this size plane. Ido want to have plenty of power but not too heavy. Any help will be greatly accepted.

Thanks, Scott</span></span>

Somewhere in a 350 size setup will be fine, and I'd go brushless, use a light weight 1000-1400 3 cell lipo will net you about 15 m inutes.

<span style="font-family: Arial"><span style="font-size: x-small">Hey thanks for the information. Iwill look at some 350 size brushless set-ups and see what there is. Is there any brand that you prefer or are they all about the same?

Thanks to all for the information. Any additional information would still be great.

Scott.</span></span>

Make a cowl using 'tupperware' as mold instead of actual cowl as instructed. Use Sig mold release wax and then glass inside of tupperware with a couple layers of 0.75oz cloth. Pop it out after it cures.

I built one this year. You want a 10 size such as the Eflite 10. The 480 would pull it around nicely, but the 10 size is an excellent match. A 350 size will not hardly even loop it from level flight and I built it very light.
