Hello Xcal,
One of the most useful tools for finding the info you want and need is Motocalc. There is a free 30 day trial download at www.motocalc.com I have gotten much good information about new setups from this versatile tool.

Xcalbr2:I'm building a 6 foot unionville beaver,or trying .I can't see how the former A glues onto the landing gear block and the fuse sides. Can you be of any help or have you got that far?

An electric plane that large is a bit of an undertaking for someone without a lot of electric plane experience. I would suggest that you contact Helmut at Dymond Modelsports in San Diego, CA or Kirk at New Creations RC in Texas. Both of these guys have tons of experience with big electric planes. Most small electric planes are way over-powered so it is easy to use components (motor, ESC, battery) that may not be ideally matched, but when you get into large stuff, you will be pushing these same components much harder and most likely, fairly close to their limits. The guys I mentioned can help you set it up right.

Good Luck

Thanks for the advise.I do have some experience with electric stuff. I have 2808-24AXI's & CC-25 esc in a couple photo planes that A flying buddy designed .I have a 2814-12 in an OMEI sailplane . I have a 4120 &70 Jeti in a 40 size giles 202 3D .It is way over powered,I'm going to install a 2826-10 axi.This is the same motor I would like to install in the beaver. I did figure how to install the A former .The instructions were a little vague.
