going to convert my kyosho PBY Catalina to electric
the kyosho PBY originally called for .15 engines i have been running .28 4 stroke engines in it. after the big crash of 2006 i now have to rebuild her and was going to make it an electric. with the motors and fuel in it it comes in a around 9 pounds. it also has an 82 inch wing span. what size brushless would i need for her? i was hopping to use outrunners so i am curious as to how much thrush the .15 gas put out so i can try and find a conversion motor
thanks jeff |
