Default Speedy Bee conversion

Yeah....I know.....it is not a Funtana or any other hot plane.....but is a conversion non the less! Very simple, cheap and easy....here is what I did: I took off the Enya 15 and motor mount, then took out the tank....not much room, but it did finally come out. Cut a battery hatch in the front of the fuselage and made a battery cradle in the fuselage with cooling vents. Had to move the servos WAY back to aquire propper CG. Made a motor cradle and added 3 degrees right thrust and 1 degree of down thrust, that is held down along with the motr by rubber bands wrapped around bamboo shafts. For power I am using a Kyosho reverse rotation Magnetic Mayhem motor and a Master Airscrew 3:1 ratio gearbox with an APC 12X8 prop and for juice, ten cell packs of Sanyo CP-1700s.

The maiden flight will be 11/27/04. Hope it goes well!
