I have thought about electrics but that's a big investment for me. I could definitely see how you would have a considerable less difficult time installing an electric in that confined cowl space. With the nitro engine, did you have to modify the firewall? I have done the math (and geometry) to put a 2 stroke 75ax in there and you either have to do some stretching of the cowl and/or reworking of the firewall and fuel tank. I'm still staring at the drawings and attempting to figure out a best approach. Electrics would be nice but I have to go old-school. thanks Graham

Re: 84'' Wingspan Norseman build Hi Jason, That's too bad that you got that far into building it, to then stop. Plans rarely, if ever, cover all bases, what was major issue that stalled your progress? It would seem that getting the fuselage built was the most complex hurdle; and building the wings would seem like gravy to me after putting that tail section together? Graham |

Performance is out of this world compared to Nitro. I have conversion pictures I meant to do a build thread on. Might still do it soon. I think I over did-it. Went from 15" Master Airscrew to 18" electric. 2x 5 cell packs for 10S power. Nitro take-off was about 50'. Electric take-off is 10'..LOL I **LOVE** this model in electric. |

Re: 84'' Wingspan Norseman build I completed the fuselage, however found that the short kit wasn't that well matched to the plans. I ended up abandoning the project. |

Re: 84'' Wingspan Norseman build Hi Julien and Jason, This thread is a bit old but I was wondering how either of you have progressed on your respective Norsemen? I have just received the same Fred Novak kit from Charlotte Aircraft and am planning to start building in 2016. Julien did you end up putting an electric motor in your build? I'm looking at putting an OS 75AX in mine, but the cowl will have to be stretched to accommodate it. Thanks Graham |
