NEW TO ELECTRIC ( wanting to convert to electreic)
ok here is my story i have a 3D CMP Giles 202 , about 6 lbs. i see that i am to use a motor thats around 1200watts. from there i start to get stressed out and not know what to get for a battery or speed control. i get stressed out cause with glow i throw on the engine add the fuel give her a tuning and after some flipping and a little bleeding and its started. well until you get a dead stick [:@]. i have heard that there is something you can use so if your esc fails you dont lose control of the plane. also the prop, the motors that i have looked at say i should use a prop thats 14 - 16 in length. that will be too big and hit the ground, so as i said im way out in left field here and would really like some help thanks jeff

CMP GILES 202 40 size
hi i have just bought a cmp giles 202 40 size, used. but it didn't come with any manual so i have a few questions if anyone can help me out. where can i get a manual, that would be the best. the fuel tank, the guy that had it before me mounted it to the wing under teh cannopy. the only problem is that it is too far from the engine, not enought presure to keep the fuel flowing during vertical flight. the servo for the throttle was a prob but my friend helped me out by making a brase for the servo and mounting it just above teh front of the wing under the cannopy. where is the c of g we are not sure where that is about, when were flying her she seems to be a bit tail heavy. and the engine thrust line, should it be facing down a bit? if anyone could hepl me with these few questions i would be most greatful thankyou for you time

RE: what is maac
yes i understand that the rules are there for a reason, but what about people who want to fly when ever they want, i was told that you can only fly on this day at this time with this member, if they can make it if not you cant fly. why would i want to pay, if i cant fly when i want, understanable you have to comply with the people living in the area. but where is teh fun in flying when they say when and how. i'm not no cowboy, i want to fly and just relaxs. i've been to the field up in duncan. and they are the best bunch of guys i've ever met. and yes they have rules, flying only on sundays, but in the summer there is also evning flying on tues and thrus. when i first got into the sport, i had no idea on what i was doing, i smashed up my first planebut when i went there they were so helpful, they fixed up my plane with me showd me what i have to do and stood beside me till i felt like i was ready. there is no judgment on anyone, you can show up with a pos and thell help you get it up in the air, from old to young rich to poor, they don't care they are there to have fun. so thankyou for clarifying why the vic flying club is a stick in the mud, but i am going to continue to drive to duncan and enjoy the flying without needing permision
