I like Biplanes
So this is my second post in the last few days in the balsa forum. In the thread about the Corben super ace I am scratch building, I had mentioned I was going to a swap meet this morning. Well a buddy and I got there just at end and they were closing up shop when we walked in. Did a quick once over and saw a big Sig biplane that I just loved. Guy had $50 on it and say make an offer, I got it for $30, probably could have got it for less but oh well. Its a Sig Sundancer 50. I went to the swap meet looking for a biplane. Was hoping for something a bit smaller but it was just so cool and the price was right. The plane is in amazing condition except the cowl with is hacked up a bit from different engines that had been in it over the years. Other than that the covering is perfect and its a sound plane.
Would love to convert this thing to electric. It is specd out for a .40-.60 nitro motor. looking to put a G46 or similar motor in and hopefully be able to run it on 4S as I have a nice nanotech 4S 3300 lipo laying around.
Anyone have experience on converting larger nitro to brushless?
Here are some pics. I already pulled all the nitro gear out, if all out I'll hang it up on the barn cause its just a gorgeous plane.
