And I have another more detailed thread going for a BUSA Pup that I need to get back on, but I jumped back on the 4* since it will be next in the air. The main thing I wanted I to point out is about the RX batterys, and the fact that I had to 15 oz. of lead to the nose of my last 4*60. So why not just use 5000 mah batteries? They probably weigh about a pound and probably won't need re-charging for MONTHS! But of course I would be cycling them quit often.

Power will be a Magnum XL 91 and covering will be Ultracote, Lime and Apple green.

It came out tail heavy Bob. From what I hear most if not all 4*60s do. Plus I figure if I end up nose heavy with the bigger batteries, I should be able to get by moving the other stuff.
