Thank you Tim for such great info. Us old gas guys still have trouble converting planes to electric. You’ve given me a great starting point to go with.

I just completed the Guillows SBD kit. I went with the Park 370 and electronics you recommended. I covered it with tissue and clear coated it. I haven't flown it yet because I lost the canopy but I ordered a replacement. Its light and strong. I just started the Hellcat and I'll use the same running gear. Thank you for making great videos.

Tim. Thank you for these great videos, they are very helpful and informative. I tried to follow your example and do an rc conversion on a guillow javelin twice the first one I got tired of waiting for the electronics to arrive so I tried hooking up the battery and it flew out of sight. The second one I was trying to install the receiver and the plane crumbled. I'm not sure if I want to try another one because I've tried 11 models and it was the same. If I do, should I try another javelin or something else?

6.4 ounces for the smaller p40 warhawk is too nuch right? What motor could make that fly?
@TimMcKay56

John: 6.4 ounces is asking a lot for the P-40 . . . do keep your speed up! Not sure on the electric motor, perhaps check www.HorizonHobby.com and look for the smaller E-flite park motors. Tim

Does the 16.5 inch hell cat make a good RC conversion or is it to small?

Hey Tim, Great video as always! I have always wondered the what is best way to hinge the ailerons on these? Some people swear by the micro hinges, other people swear by tape (like du-bro hinge tape). The tape you used seemed to work well. Does it hold up long term?

how does the Talon 15-Amp 17V ESC w/8-Amp BEC handle the Thunder Power 325mAh 2-Cell/2S 7.4V Rampage Series 70C LiPo even though the average current of the battery is 22.75?

Prod: To be honest with you, I really do not go into the level of technical research. Above my mental capabilities. 😁 I experiment a bit, and have found the Talon 15 seems to work well with a variety of 2 cell lipo packs if I keep flight times under five minutes of so. Tim

Sudha: While I cannot vouch for your local shopping area, here in the US various home building supply and art supply stores have a range of foam products (building insulation, for example) that can be adapted to RC flight. An amount of rigidity/stiffness and light weight are the key items. Tim
