Default RE: Guillow's B-17G Kit Build

Well, work has gotten in the way of fun lately. But I've managed to get some more work done. After several iterations, Iput a tail wheel configuration in that Iam happy with. It is stearable via a seperate push-rod. Ialso removed part of the top section to form a hatch to access the area Iintend to put the servos and batteries. I have also bought two Maxxamp 2S 3100 batteries that were on clearance at the LHS. But after getting home and running some numbers through the calculator it seems these are just not going to work. Ihave since bought two sets of 3S 1400mah LiPos that will work out great and should give a good 8 min flight time and with a 6in 3 blade prop provide more than adequate thrust ~ 13 oz per motor at full throttle. More work will be completed this weekend and I'll get some more pictures up then. Should start working on the vertical and horizontal and soon the wings... feel free to leave comments!
