Considering electric conversion was created by kamco kid
Been looking at the Majestic Major just sitting there in the corner gathering dust, just a sad, empty airframe as all the gear and engine got nabbed for other projects ages ago.
The conversation on here about how lovely old timers look with the sun shining through them got me thinking about getting her back in the air again.
I'm toying with the idea of dropping the brushless motor from the WOT4 that I pranged the other week into it.
Not weighed anything, can't even remember how big the motor is as I sit here typing this, but I reckon it'll be more than man enough to get the old girl into the air, might even have enough power to take a payload in the toffee drop box.
I think it might be worth a punt... if it doesn't work, I'll just put the motor back in the WOT4 and fix it's undercarriage.

I am sure it will work but you might consider a slightly larger diam and finer pitch prop as I think your MM might fly a little slower than the Wot 4.

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!
