I agree on #1...speed an performance...you sound like how MOST of the guys fly around here..two throttle settings...take off .....or land..lol..what ya think about an electric conversion? I think flight weight is around 15# so at 150 watts per pound think it would have good flight envelope as well as performance. With those numbers it comes out to be 2250 watts...on paper. To be on safe side have safety margin of 15 percent, with that it comes out to be 127.5 watts per pound. Will it fly? Tomcat 90 motor,2 5c in series,100amp esc. Now there's #2...no one flys or even has a multi motor aircraft around here..fixed tricycle gear, use robart nose gear, many questions tho. Like if motor calls for 40amp esc, instead of 2 esc's, can 1 80 amp esc be used with 2 batterys in parallel.Most of all would have retrain on how to fly scale. .lol
