I'm finally finishing my 25 year old Goldberg Anniversary short wing Cub, and would like to replace the glow motor with a brushless electric motor. Can anyone point me in the right direction for an electric motor & power train?

Thanks!

Right this way -------------->

Well it is a direction after all

I have a CG Cub as old and it has been crashed rebuilt and crashed a few times.

Do you want vertical power or just enough power?

Here is a calc program to see what number you can get. It is close but a watt meter is a good tool to have.

I agree with buzz,,
Anything rating in the .45-.46 should flying it great off land,, I've had good luck with the stuff Value Hobby sells,,

if you plan to set it up on floats maybe bump it up to a .60 class motor/esc system

good luck
