Title: LA 46 to Electric or Electric to LA 46
Post by: Paul Taylor on March 20, 2025, 05:36:02 PM

Please do not sell this as my son drew it up. This was originally designed by Dave Adamisin for a AeroTigher 36. My son redrew it for a LA 46. I recommend PETG

I have not tested this yet. My plan is to put it on a Tutor II and flip between a LA and a Electric.

That's nice but there is a lot more to an conversion than a motor mount.  S?P

That’s the hardest part. Mounting a tank or a battery is a piece of cake. The rest is plumbing or wiring. 🙃

Personally I don't think gender swapping a plane is a good idea.  The noses and fuselages are made completely different.  Going from an IC design to electric brings up space and cooling issues but putting an IC in a nose built for electric is going to have all kinds of vibration issues. Can it be done, sure.  Should it be done?  Maybe on a profile.

Yea it is most definitely better for profiles. I’m would bet it was designed for a conversion project. But just look how a 3D printer made it an easy way to do it. 👍🏼
