Default RE: The new electric YAK 54 from Greatplanes!

Here are some more photos of the finished product - ready for maiden today (hopefully).

The picture of the belly by the landing gear shows the fix I had to do when I split the balsa blocks that the screws for the battery hatch magnets are supposed to screw into - just like RysiuM warned about. I soaked the blocks in CA and they still split right in half. I should have drilled the holes bigger first. So I ended up cutting the blocks down enough to place a piece of ply wood across the fuse which does a much better job of holding the screws anyway.
