I'm not quite sure where to post this, but here goes...
I have a BTE Flyin' King utility plane powered by a .91 4-stroke glow engine. It flies well-- I use it for general fun flying and for aerial photography.
I want to build another Flyin' King and with a provision to mount video, digital and film cameras in the nose. To do this I propose to make it a twin-engine plane, and use a pair of electric motors mounted in pods under the wing. There would be ground clearance for 12-14" props.
The specs: 80" wingspan, 1280 sq-in, weight w/o engine is 7-8 pounds. As a twin, it should require two .30-.40 2-stroke engines. What recommendation do you have for a pair of electric motors and battery capacity/cell count?
Thanks,
Bill
