@Kmot -
Thanks for the link and heads up on others doing the same. There are so many things going on on rcu that one tends to overlook certain threads from time to time.

@ Andy R -
I thought that was going to be an issue with the E-flite Piper Pawnee that I did a few years ago (here's my write up) but simply building up the mount with a bit of epoxy and basewood did the trick. The strangest part about E-flite electric motor mount threads (the pre-drilled locations)is that they match up perfectly to a .20-.45 sized Great Planes adjustable motor mount. Which is perfect for a .20-.25 engine.

How goes it!? Long time no chat / see.Yeah, after a few years of battle oversized hauls to the field, I decided to go down the road of smaller ARFs and I have to say that I'm impressed wtih E-flite thus far. Only problem is that they can get a bit spendy from time to time. For example, the latest Cub (here) is a bit expensive. Nice kit, but not for that price (unless I start making more $$).


I've gone from glow-2-electric-2-glow-2-electric-2... you get the idea; and found I really do love glow. I enjoy the mechanical aspect of the engine and the tuning, tweaking, adjusting, etc. Plus, it's the sound of the engine in the sky. Enjoyable for me If anyone is interested I'll be sure to post the work on the T-6 Texan as I begin work on it. It won't start until December, as it's my winter project, but I'm planning on a full paint scheme and conversion w/the new E-flite electric retracts.
