Electric Pattern Planes........

[Rick Kent]

The Airborne Models planes can be converted, obviously, but they might not
be the best choice. Note that Kyle's Zen 50 conversion weighs 7.5 lb. Kind
of portly for a .40-.50 sized ship. Might be better with LiPos, but I'm
thinking the larger airframes would convert better, since there is more wing
to carry the weight. A built up balsa kit would be ideal, since
removal/substitution of excess heavy wood, and other lightening techniques
could be used while building.
Those ARFs are built for IC, and weigh more, and not a lot can be done about
it, vs. a balsa kit.  OTOH, the GP Venus has been successfully converted by
many, since it is light for an ARF.
