I had a Spirit glider sitting in the garage and decided to make it electric (actually I have 2 spirit gliders in the garage, one I built 15 years ago and the other I bought cheap). The bought one was not as well build as mine (ha ha)- well the tailplane is a bit warped and I did consider replacing it but I haven't, so that is the one I decided to convert. I bought a Turnigy brushless equivalent to a 0.12 ic motor which should be big enough (maybe too big!!). Its all ready to go now. Its winter so the flying weather can be a bit few and far between. I have run up the engine (why is it that when you first connect it up it goes the wrong way ;o), programmed the ESC so we are all ready to go. Using a fixed 9x5 prop for the first few flights to see how she goes.
