The Attack 20 is a glow to e-power conversion, of a kit from World Models. I had seen several similar conversions done to this kit, so I new it work work once I converted mine. It was an attractive conversion because this kit was available at the local hobby shop for only $80. I bought an MEC Turbo-10 motor at a Rancho San Antonio swap meet for $5, so I new I could setup the plane inexpensively. Here are the final vitals of the plane:

Attack 20 Kit

MEC Turbo-10 motor, with 4:1 MEC Superbox

12x10 APC e-prop

10 x RC-2400 NiCads. Also flies well on Panasonic 3000 NiMh's.

50amp high-rate ESC

I flew this setup in the plane for almost 18 months. The Attack absolutely screams with this motor setup....literally...it makes a screaming noise in-flight that really gives you a feeling for it's power. To get the most power out of the plane, I run the motor with the timing advance about 20 degrees. I got tired of changing out brushes in the Turbo-10 motor from burning them up. A brush kit new from MEC is about $5. You can go through alot of brushes the more advanced your timing is. I finally switched to a Hacker B40-8L with a 4.4:1 gearbox on it, in order to stop brush maintenance.

Total construction time = 3 or 4 evenings
