[NSRCA-discussion] CA Models Eclipse

[John Pavlick]

Ron,
 What are you using for an Rx battery? Regulator? Wheels? Don't overlook the little things. You only need to save 1/2 an ounce 32 times. VBG

After further reflection, I couldn't use two 6S packs with lower capacity; it would exceed AMA's limit of 42 volts on batteries.

>>>> I bought a beautiful receiver-ready CA Models Eclipse from Mike Wingo, hoping to convert it to electric power.  It is an all-painted  airplane; no MonoKote/UltraCote/etc.  It is complete, except for the receiver and is fitted with Futaba digital servos.  Power is an OS  1.40RX, with appropriate header/pipe.  The only problem I have with it is that it weighs 5 kg.  After doing the math, I cannot figure out  how to convert it to electric power and keep the weight at/under 5 kg.  So, I want to sell it for what I paid for it: $900 + shipping,  if necessary, I can provide additional details/pictures for anyone who's interested.
