I did a conversion on the Sundancer a few years back, before outrunners. Very nice plane flies great with my outdated duel motor system so with a single outrunner and half the batteries it would be spectacular.

Any videos of her flying at that wing-loading/power mix?

Here are Steve Neu's recommendations. I love his power systems. Any comments?
A 1521 should be a good match for a 18lb plane. A 1521/1.5Y/6.7 on 10S 4900s with a Castle 110HV controller would be a good bet. It will turn a 24/12 prop and draw about 2700 watts. Static thrust should be over 450 oz(28 lbs)

I haven’t had an opportunity to film this plane yet. With my power system I have enough to hover but the pull out is pretty slow, not a lot of reserve. This plane doesn’t stall just runs out of speed and drops the nose. The speed envelop is very good and she dose knife edge with very little rudder.

With that power system your plane will be several pounds lighter and the performance will be very nice!
