hello e-fliers,
i just want to show how to build the very successfull almost antique BigLIft from the 1970 as an up-to-date version with e-motor.

the BigLIft was originally constructed by multiplex. the BL has been a very popular model since many years because of his very good flying characters.
suggested for a 10ccm glow engine the plane was capable to tow smaller gliders either behind or on top. the orinal plane was one of the most famous planes for beginner to get into bigger planes where you could do towing and dropping bonbons.

i had in mind not to build the lightest version but a very reliable and still strong for forgivness and still able to way outperform the same plane with a glow or gasser. engine. some people put a 20ccm or a 30ccm engine on this plane, so the engine itself would almost surpass the estimated empty weight of my e-version.
some data;
wingspan: 220cm
length:159cm
estimated weight w/o battery: 2500g

attached the original looking version from 1970 something and the new version 2010
