"I have made some mods to convert to electric three channel. I put in an Eflite 450 for power. It flies GREAT!" - Bill Williams

 
Below is a 3 channel electric r/c conversion built by Bryan Hardenbrook.

Here is Don Sebolt's electric r/c conversion, including close-ups.
 

Built up wing with ailerons.





"I installed a gas tank, micro servos for 4 channel operation, receiver, and battery pack. There is a switch on the fuselage beneath the pilot's window. The engine is a NORVEL .061 with throttle for radio control. Covering is Coverlite. Your Monocoupe 90A is very spacious inside and has plenty of room for the tank, battery pack, receiver, and servos."- Don Sebolt, June 2005.
