Beechcraft Bonanza Top Flite - what is the best engine for that model ?

Mirek,
It would help if you could list the specs --span, flying weight, available prop clear--
We are talking electric power here, right ?

It is a 81 " wing spane model , some one told me that I need a 700 grams nose balast
with the .120 cu engine .

Thank You much ........... Mirek J.

I built this model for a friend and the power used was as follows

Axi 5330/24
10S LiPos 5500mAH
Prop - 17x10 APCe

Model weighed 13 lbs ready to fly but not painted

Power was more than enough.

R101: Was that weight with components too? or just the finished build with fiberglassing? I'm looking at building the Piper Arrow, similar in size, but I"m hoping 12 lbs monokoted and RTF.

That was the weight when it flew. It was unpainted but covered with tissue and Poly-C.

Lew, that is a gorgous Bonanza, nice work! Kit or scratch? I'd love to build one about 1/2 that size one of these days.

Cheers,
Matt
PS. any maiden flight footage?

[R101]

Matt

It's from the Topflite kit.

All I have in footage is a short and poor quality video of the first take off - I think the guy was taken by surprise by the power available !
