Hey Ed,

I am building an electric rc 48" Buccaneer, the wing area is 686 sq in. I think, it is rare sized model and had to calculate by scaling the wing area from a 66" model.  

The only class I am eligible for, I think, is the Electric limited motor run.

As I have calculated it, I have to weigh 38.1 oz or more to get to the 8 oz a sq ft minimum and can either have a less than 960 mah 2 cell or 641 mah 3 cell.

Am I close? 

Am I allowed to make modifications to the cowl/nose to better fit the electric motor? The gas motor design has the engine too far back. If I place the motor behind the first bulkhead the prop would strike the balsa cowl. 

 

Thanks a lot,

Derrick

If anyone needs help calculating the minimum weights or battery sizes for electric, just send me a note with the wing area and which class and I can help you.

 

Mister Ed
