Default Pictures! Electric Tacos

Hey guys, i'd like to start a tread for all of those electrified tacos out there.

My dilema: I don't have the money to electrify the real taco fat free, the motor and batteries and a new Pheonix 35 are just to much.
I have a P25, 3S 1550's, and an AXI 2212-34 that i am going to use to electrify my Taco.

What i am going to do: Using the wing rib templates that come with the Tacos i am going to cut wing ribs out of depron and use 3/16" square balsa as spars. I am going to use the construction techniques used in the Airwave Sukhoi I used to have. I am going to make the fuse out of 3/4" 1.5# EPS styrofoam capped on the top and bottom with 1/16" balsa sheets for torsional strength. All the surfaces are going to be made out of depron which I have already cut out.

I am shooting for an airframe weight all covered at 6oz and and AUW RTF at 14oz.
