Electric Plane Components

I am planning to refit an older electric plane with a new motor, battery and speed control. Is there a web site or someone to call to get the right components for the plane I want to fit it with? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Randy,

For starters, try these websites.

You can also call Tower Hobbies for assistance. 1-800-637-6050 They will give you their website for selecting the right electric power system for your plane.

Good luck!

Actually, don't.

register, and ask there, in the power forum, giving all details, and loads of people who are NOT trying to sell product will chip in and tell you what's what.

Read carefully! I was not trying to sell Randy anything. I said, "For Starters"! This was to give him a broad idea of what is there to pick from AND he can get straight info from the distributor, IF he wanted to purchase from them.

Its a bit like saying 'I fancy a high, what should I do'

and you saying 'talk to the nearest pusher'

Thanks to everyone for your help. I'm registered with RCGroups, but didnt think about the forums. I actually tried to call Hobby Lobby (before posting here) and was put on hold 4 times. Never did talk to anyone except the receptionist in cust service. Anyway, I appreciate your help!

If you want to call a hobby shop, try Tower - they have been helpful when I have called, even thought I wasn't buying.

If you want GOOD and true advice, contact Richard Girardo at Vision Hobbies. He's a pro. You can see the videos of planes he has built and flow on his website at

The Hobby Lobby catalog has some pretty good suggestions. Just look for a plane that is approximately the same as what you have and they usually recommend the battery/ESC/motor combination. I found the one they recommended for their Telemaster Electro to be perfect.

I have to second the motion to contact Hobby Lobby! Not only will you find their catalog

very informative, but if you can't find the info you are seeking, talk to one of their E-experts and you will get an honest answer with good suggestions.
