I have also gone electric - an E 60 and two 3S cells in series on a support built around the engine mount, and the motor is on the end (outside) of the mount, not 'inside' per the directions. The ESC is ahead of the firewall too. With a magnetic cowl, will only have to remove the prop nut to change batteries. I've read this whole thread and hope to avoid adding much lead - if I can go easy on the paint!

The covering job on the H9 Fokker DVII was much better - no problems, and with a shot of Testor's Dullcote, it came out great.

Anthony - that sound system is outstanding! Much better than I had imagined. Nice flying too.
