Just finished up a build of a new AC Razor 45 with Zenoah 260 with all new Speedmaster gear on the back. I've got two outings with it and then all the sudden the idea came to light about a conversion to electric and get rid of the gas setup all together. I'm just tired of the smell (and I'm using white gas and Benol), excess support gear, headache etc.
A few questions for the group:
-What electronics would be needed to get me into the mid 60's in good water?
-Size motor
-Size ESC
-Batteries: 4, 5, 6S?
-What "C" rating?
-Other parts
I've had my share of experience with electric planes and understand watts/amps, throttle management = longer run time, higher pitch = more amps needed etc, and the ESC, motor and battery have to be able to support each. Lazy fliers can get away with a lower "C" rating, where an acrobat needs the higher and so forth.
If you can point me in the right direction with those questions, I'd be most grateful.
