In the case of this UGLY plane, proper hot air exit area Has been designed into the fuselage. It does work.....

Well Scott, I've been schooled again. haha. My electric experience is very limited and never experienced hot motors. But then I only had a couple planes with way to big motors and never worked them hard. BUT I do have to disagree on one point. The plane is not that ugly. In fact I kind of like it!
