Thanks Mike. Look for the conversion elsewhere; it doesn't belong in the electric space.
BTW, the landing gear blocks and what little firewal there was, removed about 100 grams from the fuse. I also removed much of the nose ring which was another 15 grams or so. The composite rudder was removed (65 grams). The new rudder will weigh about 35 grams.
For now I intend to keep the wings and stabs intact (wing panel weights are reasonable at 410 grams each and stab panels are about 105 grams each).
