Hi,

I´m building a 16,5" Guillows P-40 Warhawk for e-flight. I have been working on it for two years or so since I want to have retracts and flaps (yes I know, it´s a crazy idea). It took me about a year to develop the retracts since they have to be ultra-lightweight and since they have to turn around its axis 90 degrees while retracting... now I have a working prototype and I am currently building the final versions of the l.g. I will cover parts of the plane with 0.4mm balsa for strength and cover the whole plane with tissue. Since it will be quite heavy, it will probably be quite fast and demand relatively much power. I will probably install a miniature brushless motor and Kokam 360mAh 20C Lipos.
