Just started building Balsa USA Nieuport 17. I am very appreciative for this how to video (and other videos.) This is what breaths life into RC Flying. A BIG THANK U.
Thank you ...... a much needed video. Until today is was convinced that gas was the only way to go. Would be nice to see some of these conversions in the air.
There's an easier way, measure from the firewall to the thrust washer. Now measure the electric motor mount to the thrust washer, difference is what your new mounting block size should be.
This particular airframe was modified in this manor to keep the electronics safe while flying off water. We agree that it’s not ideal for most applications.

David Brown fly em all the time! The Pup, D.Viii, and Dr.1 literally got hundreds of flights last season!
What size engine did you take out and what size motor did you replace it with?
Having the cowl open from the top also lets you install the batteries from behind the prop where I would much rather be.

Which one of these will work best for converting the Citabria Aerobatic Pro?
Ben Hynum honestly neither are designed for that plane. But we are developing one for that airframe and should have it available soon.
hii where did you get that electric motor mount thanks

But why place the battery that high?
Wished i found this 3 months ago! 🤯
Sorry that is not an eflight power 32. Read the motor ,great planes rim fire. No longer produced
Achtung, der Sturz könnte zu viel sein wenn das Flugzeug auf dem Heckrad steht und per Augenmass gemessen wird.
Is it just me, or is anyone else AGHAST at cutting the cowl in half? What kind of look does that leave you with? There must be another way.
