The main fuselage is hollow and has 2 removable canopies. The front canopy removes to gain access to the front storage area whilst the rear gives access to the esc and motor mount. All installed wiring is easily accessible and the extension wires for the servos and accessories can be easily routed creating a large inner cavity for air cooling.

Rear bay with esc and motor mounts. The foam in this area is quite dense and strong but the extra plywood supports just add to that strength creating a roomy but solid electronics bay.
