Status: offline 		Hi all,
I have just finished my Vanquish tonight but a question sprung to mind.

Do I need an air exit somewhere at the rear end of the fuz??

There are plenty of openings for air to enter the cowling, but the battery is between the wings.

I am running the stock power package with 2200mAh 4s packs.

By the way, this things looks really good just sitting on the ground, I can't wait to fly it.

This is my second electric model, if you don't count indoor foamies (really fun though). The first is a Phase 3 EDF16, flies well.

Thanks for any help,

One on each side of the longeron for only one bay. It's about 2 inches wide by 4 inches long. If you look at the thread on another forum, there will be a picture of where to do it. I'll try to throw in a link to the pic.

Good luck with the flight. John

That makes a lot more sense now, air in, air out.
I was wondering what the idea of the angled part inside the fuz was, Duh!
Why don't they show this in the manual, it is fairly important I suspect.

Cheers,

Peter.
