Glow > Electric conversion.
I wonder if this would make a good electric conversion? It's an older House Of Balsa FW-190 that I built but never flew. It was meant for a Norvel .061. What size motor would work, any ideas?

Re: Glow > Electric conversion.
How much does it weigh? or how much do you think it will weigh ready to fly...
do you want unlimited pull out of a hover?

jim... some dude had that exact plane in my LHS trying to trade it the other day. I converted it over and was actually using NiMh packs instead of LiPo's... I think he had a 4800 soemthing in it.

I've got no idea what it will weigh. I've got to see if I can find the instructions for it. It doesn't feel super light thats for sure. And as far as pulling out of a hover, forget. It's only aileron/Elevator control and they're tiny.

Re: Glow > Electric conversion.
Looks like they reintroduced this model. Maybe my axi 2814/12 would be good for it?

Re: Glow > Electric conversion.
Jim.....the 2814/12 should haul that thing around nicely. With a 10x7 prop you should be pretty close to 400W depending on the battery.
