Alberta Motor & servo size


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Hi everybody, I have a couple of questions. I was given an old beat up cessna. It had been run on nitro and I want to change it to electric. Wingspan is 53" and it weighs, just the air frame 38 oz.
So here are the questions:
1 What size motor, esc and prop do I need?
2 What size servos and what do the # 3.0 Kg/.14 sec. on a servo description mean?
Thank you for any help you can give me.
Manfred

PS I just want to get it up to practice aileron flying.

Re: Motor & servo size

What size nitro did it have?

The servo numbers are 3.0kg push/pull strength with a .14 second reaction time.

If it had a .40, then a G32 should be plenty. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...er_600kv_.html

Hook that up to a 60A esc, and use a 3s or 4s battery.

Re: Motor & servo size

Thank you Darrell for your help, the total price would be over $100 which is more than I was hoping to spend.
Thanks again for your help

Re: Motor & servo size

Don't think for a second that electric is going to be cheap...

Try the following

g10 motor..http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...1100kv%5F.html

Birdie 50A ESC ... http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...F3A%5FBEC.html

Zippy battery ... http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...S1P%5F30C.html



$75 with a charger for the battery charger and then there is shipping..
