To convert a plane to electric, serious thought needs to be given to changing the batteries. I had a Lexx pattern plane (designed for electric) which had to have the wing removed (4 nylon bolts) each time the battery needed to be changed, not a good design! All the conversions I have done since, have an easy way to change batteries (belly plan works great!) without removing any bolts/screws. Some may wonder whats the difference but when the battery is connected, the motor is "hot", any glitch could cost a finger. Making the bettery tray easy to open makes connecting up very quick right before flight.

Here is how I handled the Rare Bear. The fuse hatch was modified with a wood frame to exactly fit the opening. 2 pins were added to facilitate lining up the hatch and holding it from shear force while 3 BVM jet latches were added to hold the hatch in place. I added the screws because I thought it looked better, they are simply ground off on the other side giving the appearance of a fastener.

I'll post the motor specs next...
