Default Converting a EDF to GDF

Hi,

I really didn't like electrics much, all of my r/c are glow powered so I wanted to know if it's possible I can covert the Hero Eagle 100 which currently has the EDF into a GDF?

It currently uses a 101mm EDF powered by a 2200kv brushless motor (twin setup)

In order to convert it into a GDF, what would the equivalent be?

I'm thinking .21 or .40

Why not stick a couple of Wren 44's on that puppy.

Go with a couple of RK-20 fans. You can find them on Ebay.

fw190pilot with the cost of a Wren 44 @ $2,500 each... way to expensive for me.

bruff & Ruizmilton,
I looked at the RK-20 and it looks like the perfect one to use. However I could only find one of them to purchase, does anyone know where else I can purchase another one to complete the twin setup?

He probably does not want the higher performance either!

I don't like the downtime to charge the batteries and the weight of the battries is kinda on the heavy side for payload.

Plus it just doesn't smell right
