Title: converting ready 40 to electric
Post by: asinghatiya on December 14, 2010, 04:27:24 PM
Hi friends, any may please suggest me that what is the power ststem requirment for converting a ready 40 into electric.

I am using OS MAX .46 AX. My problem is that I have no intention to struggle with an engine but a deep desire to fly. This is superb engine but I am not able to justify its presence on my ready 40.

this motor is said to be subsitute of a  OS 46 engine.

wot should be the ESC, battery & propellar requirement for this?


Please advice me and I will sell my almost new (2-3 flight old) OS MAX.


thanks

You will need a 60 amp ESC. You may have to get an external BEC for supplying power to the radio receiver and servos. This is also available with RCFORALLIN.

That same product page lists a 11x6 prop with a 3s lipo.  Use a bigger mAH lipo with sufficient C.

The AerodriveXp motors are good. I just got one from VKSingh (TGY AerodriveXp SK Series 35-30 1100Kv). Tested it with a 10x6 glow prop and the thrust was just awesome, way more than my OS .25 la.

Hi ,
I have TT Cessna Cardinal 177 60 size converted to electric .

I think the best option for a ready electric would be the 2826( 3548 ) /6 motor 790 KV  with 14.8 V input ( 4 S ) 3000 mah + with  25 c discharge minimum running a 11 x 7 apce prop .
I always prefer using 2 x 2 S in series rather than a 4 S as any damage to 1 battery can be replaced.

Send me a mail I can check stock and let you know.

hi i have converted my 46 size plane to electric. my setup includes:-

Thats a killer setup. But dont u think its a little heavy for the model? Consider that I dont have experience in planes what so ever.

this setup can be used on 46 to 60 size models and all types of planes, beginner intermediate or advanced. so its a one time investment. All u need to change is batteries for diff. power output. Its cleaner, quieter & better than glow.  I dont buy single use things. this setup will last long.

PS- Sorry dint read the Ready 40 in first post. For ready 40 use 4S lipo not more than 450 gms. Thx

Can you please post some pics of your model? Basically I'm interested in the mounting of motor. Do you have to use a long mount, so the motor can come forward to balance the CG?
