Brooklyn Dodger , a classic free flight model airplane from 1941 , designed by Sal Taibi.

I got it as a gift from Gary S. ( thanks ! ) , who got it from the original owner and builder Ed Walker ( thanks! ).

Wing span is 55in ( 1.4 m). AUW is 1250 g = 44.1 oz.

Converted to electric R/C , with Rudder, Elevator and Throttle controls.

Removed the old Tornado engine and added an electric brushless motor: 174 g , Kv= 800 RPM/V .

12"x6" APC clone propeller.

LiPo 3S battery 2200 mAh.

Full WOT current is 21A , but it flies ok with just 7 A.
