Nice model, I'm interested to know about your power setup, I've just acquired some plans for one of these and keen to try and electric version too.

@ebr62933 Hi there, sorryu for the late reply... this plane is set-up with a E-flite 60 electric motor, an e-flite 60amp ESC, and uses 5S 4000mah Rhino batteries. turning a 15x8 prop. OBviously, with that setup I have unlimted vertical and I generally have never put back more than1/2 of the battery pack after a good deal of flying.

Hey Bud!

Just wanted to compliment you on an excellent rebuild and say Thank You! for sharing it with all of us. You've inspired me to add a Powerhouse to my list and I'll be using the info you kindly shared in your posts to hopefully do a proper job. If I can do half the job you have, I'll be pleased. Best wishes to you and yours,

Pudge

What would be a good motor and battery combo for this plane. I will be putting one of these together this summer.
