Hey all,

Simple question.

Would it be easy to convert a speed 400 plane to a speed 600 And fly with
(6-7) SC cells from a car.
The sort of plane i have in mind is a ripmax allaince or other foam planes
with a span of 1 Meter +- 10%
Spitfire, P51, etc
I ask this because it seems there is plenty of choise for speed400 models in
comparisson to speed600 planes, most of them are gliders.
and using 6 cells i can use my car paks for flying;

Thx

No really. Mostly the weight is simply too great.

The best upgrade for the alliance is to go 3s LIPO on the stock motor
and box. (geared 480) and then if you want a straight brushless upgrade
the MPjet 25/35 plugs straight in as well.

Don't bother. Old technology, too heavy, and not enough volts.
