Coverting Protor Antic to electric

[RC Oldy]

Any sugestions on Motor size, esc, battery, to covert My Antic to electric Running a os 61 in it now.

Put a Saito 4 cycle with bad timing. Would sound way cooler! :Cool:

Lol 61 sounds good with the pits on it but tired of messing with nitro

Simple...Find a plane with the same weight and wing span on MRC. Go to "parts" and pick out the ESC and motor for that plane. This is what I do with all my balsa/ply ARF's. Has never failed me. I prefer FMS. Doc

By the way...Am I mistaken or was the Maltese cross used in WW1? Not the Swastika. Your WW1 plane seems to have WW2 markings. Doc

Here's a guys advice to someone else.

I also found this as a reference:

50-70 watts per pound; Minimum level of power for decent performance, good for lightly loaded slow flyer and park flyer models.
models

70-90 watts per pound; Trainer and slow flying scale models.

90-110 watts per pound; Sport aerobatic and fast flying scale models

110-130 watts per pound; Advanced aerobatic and high speed models

130-150 watts per pound; Lightly loaded 3D models and ducted fans.

150-200+ watts per pound; Unlimited performance 3D models.

I haven't done any of these so can't verify there validity.
