Default RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

Well, I haven't flown (yet!) but decided to post a few pictures and motor details for anyone interested. Some folks say WHY convert to electric, especially this plane but I think it is a perfect candidate. 1.) The weight is well within the limit for e-power. 2.) The fuse is HUGE inside, making battery mounting a cakewalk. 3.) Of course it is a sweet looking plane too, which makes it even more fun to fly and have folks ask "what engine you got in there?!" only to watch their jaw drop when you tell them it's electric.

Here are some pics of the engine mounting, including a view of the enlarged reciever battery area which has been modified to vent the LiPo packs rather than mount the RX battery.

More to follow...
