Glow To Electric Conversions

Glow Powered Airplanes Converted to Electric Power

Electric power is now much better than glow power. Electric "Outrunner" motors are so powerful and efficient that they are better power sources for RC airplanes than glow engines. Airplanes that were moderate performers with glow engines become superb performers with outrunner motors. They take off faster, climb and perform aerobatics better with Outrunner motors.

What about flight duration? The new Lithium batteries let the airplanes fly longer than they used to fly with glow engines.

These are not idle claims. Try one of these airplanes with the recommended electric power and you will be convinced.

If you already own a glow powered airplane that is similar in size, weight and general performance to one of the following converted glow airplanes, then the electric equipment that we are recommending for our converted glow airplane will work very well in your airplane.

Do you want to convert your glow airplane to electric? If so, Hobby Lobby can help. If we do not show your plane as one of the planes we've converted to electric power, please take a few minutes to complete the questions below. The more information about your plane you can provide the better the information we will supply.

Please answer the following questions then click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page.

We need to know the following about your plane:

1. What is the name of the plane you are going to convert and who is the manufacturer?

(Ex. - Funtana .90 from Hangar 9)

2. What is the wing area?

(Ex. - 654 square inches)

3. What is the current flying weight as a glow plane?

(Ex. - 9 pounds 8 ounces, or 8.5 to 9 pounds, etc.)

4. What is the current engine being used or is recommended?

(Ex. - YS 1.20 4-stroke)

5. What type of airfoil does the airplane have?
(Flat bottom, Symmetrical, Semi Symmetrical, Thick or Thin)

(Ex. - Fully symmetrical, thick airfoil)

6. What type of battery power source do you prefer?
(Nicad, NiMh, Li-Poly, etc.)

(Ex. - Lipoly batteries)

7. How do you want this plane to perform?
(Trainer, sport, 3D, etc.)

(Ex. - Fully 3D capable)

8. Performance you want at full power?
Takeoff:
Quick takeoffs, or
Gentle, long takeoff roll
Climbout:
Fast climbs at 30 degrees, or
More scale-like climb at 15 degrees
Level Flight:
High speed in level flight, or
Moderate speed in level flight
Loops:
Able to do a loop from level flight, or
Only able to loop after a dive

9. We will also need your name and email address to contact you.
