I have been flying my AeroWorks 30cc Extra 260, 76″ wingspan, for over a year now. I have more then 200 flights on it and absolutely love it. Its a wonderful aircraft and can do any aerobatic maneuver you ask of it. The only issue I have had with the airplane is the DLE 35cc RA gas engine. I have done just about everything I know of to resolve the “load up” issues, I have finally given up on it.
Electric power is so advanced now that I thought this would be a good airplane to convert. I have been flying smaller electric airplanes for ever but this is the first of this size.
After many conversations and questions on RC Groups, asking friends and other experts, I finally settled on the following configuration:
| Electric Motor | MOTROLFLY DM-4330-298 298Kv, 2700 watts |
| ESC | ZTW Gecko OPTO 120amp HV ESC |
| Arming Switch | MPI Spark-eliminating, High Voltage Arming Switch |
| Connectors | EC5 |
| Motor/ESC Connectors | 5.5mm Bullet |
| Batteries | 8S 6600mAh, (2) 4S batteries in series |
Here is the new motor, ESC, arming switch and series battery connector all wired together.
Next, I need to get it mounted in to the airplane. I am currently waiting for some additional parts. As soon as its all mounted, I will take some pictures!
Do you have any videos of your setup ? I am about to build them same airplane in electric.
Unfortunately, I don’t…
