Darn nice little airplane! I think it would be ideal for conversion to electric. Everybody I know that still flies 1/2A planes converted to electric long ago. Far less mess with much better and more reliable performance.

Yep All going to be Electric.

Assembling the fuselages - doublers and formers.
