I've been building Guillow's free-flight models for a short bit, and I enjoy the challenge of getting these neat little models to fly right. I just finish repairing both of the models I currently have built, and one of them does not seem able to fly for the time I would like it to with it's supplied rubber motor.

The model is their Cessna 150 24" scale model. The flights I was able to get out of it were OK (most were rather eradic, as I had not yet gotten the hang of prop angle, so I was getting major upward thrust, causing stalls, and, hence, repairs :D ), but I need an electric motor that will allow me to fly the length of a football feild or so.

The model included a small paper on electric conversion, and company names such as Hy-line were mentioned. Can anyone help me with a few links or companies I can contact? I would GREATLY appreciate it! Geared motors are prefered. Thank you again!

Check Skyhooks & Rigging, they supply Hy Line stuff to us lonely Canucks. I have Mini4 (direct drive, flying a 24" Mustang) and Mini6, (geared, installed in a few models, singles and twins, looking at test flights of my Halibag) and all do just what they say they will. Good luck!
