Hi everybody,
This is the first time I have posted to this site, but I have been reading most of the posts regarding IC to Electric conversions. My friend, Willie DeMauro, asked me to fly his 2 conversion planes (P-40 and Banshee). After doing that and reading all the pros on this site, I decided to convert my 3 profiles. Below are pictures of 2 completed. Both are scratch built using template of ribs from "Stiletto" wing reduced to 50". Both are covered completely with monokote. I've noticed that people describe their setups so I will do the same in case anyone is interested.
"ILLUSION" - Turnigy C4240-900 motor, Will Hubin FM7 timer, Castle 40 ESC, 3200 MAH LIPO, Hobby City clone version of APC 12/6 prop.
I finished this plane yesterday and waiting for good weather to test.
"ORBIT" - Turnigy C3548-900 motor, Will Hubin FM7 timer, Castle 35 ESC, APC 12/6 prop cut to 11 1/2".
I have approximately 10 flights and very happy with the results. It flies through the whole pattern without any problems.
Thanks, and I hope everybody has a great holiday season.
Ron
