Great Planes Learjet 40 conversion into Learjet E55..

Since there is no section on here where only glow to electric conversion projects could be threaded, figured this is good enough as GP Learjets are semi
scale models.

I have been thinking about this conversion for a very long time and was waiting for someone to tackle it, after searching the web n rcg site, since none is done, ill take a plunge and do it. Its doesn't seems any different then how other models are done, only thing is the space within cowl could be intimidating to people but it's not that bad. Last night I took out fuel tank, tubing and refueling valve from the fuel tank compartment as now it will become battery compartment.

I'll be using:
Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 4250 350Kv motor as I have 2 spare ones.
Turnigy Nanotech 6s 4500mah lipo or Turnigy Blue 6s 5000mah lipo.
Turnigy Trust black 70A Esc with ubec or Turnigy Redbrick 70A Esc.
Prop will be 12x8 APC 2 blade.

Rest of the electronics will remain the same as they are already installed in the plane, I will take throttle servo out as it's not needed now.
