Title: small electrics for control line
Post by: Carl Mataratzo on October 08, 2011, 07:05:40 AM

i asked a question in the 1/2a section, and then discovered the amped up section - sorry, i am new here.

what motor would you sugest for and electric powered Scarinzi Queen Bee?
I would like enough power for overhead eights, would this one work?

i have done lots of searches for small electrics and had originally thought of converting an arf 3d but then stumbled on the queen bee. i am looking for a small parking lot / inside a warehouse electric, that can perform stunts and not fall out of the air.

I am not familiar with a Scarinzi Queen Bee.  What size and weight is this aircraft?

Brodak has a 1/2A Baby Clown designed for electric and a ready to install flight pack:

Haven't seen one fly.  Anybody know how the electric baby clown stacks up?

Is the queen bee the little 020. powered biplane ?

Looking at Scarinzi Queen Bee (yes, .020 bipe) I think it would take some mods to make it balance as electric.

Carl,
I posted some info on the 1/2A board.  I'll repeat it here. That motor is about like a .02, but will out weigh a glow .02 by the time you add in a battery and esc. I fly this motor on a twin (P-38) on 2s with 6x3's. I think you would have to go with a smaller prop and 3s for overhead maneuvers.

This one might be better
