Default RE: Long-EZ 46 Conversion to Electric

Here are some images of my Long-EZ and electric equipment just waiting to be assembled. The first image is the RichModel kit contents (minus the canopy). I forgot to include it in the picture. It is the same design that bobz pictured in a previous post. The second image is the power equipment. All components were recommended by Hobby Lobby's glow to electric conversion department. (See their website.) Equipment includes: AXI 2826/10 OUTRUNNER Brushless Motor, Jeti Advance PLUS 70 Amp Opto Brushless Controller, Ultimate BEC, 11x8.5 APC Electric Prop. (Not shown: PolyQuest "Twenty" 4 Cell 14.8V 3700 mAh LiPo Pack). THe thrid image shows the manufacturer's attempt to run tubing for rudder push rods in the wing. (One wing has the tube the other doesn't.) No other components (vetical stabilizers) show any intent to include rudder so I guess they initially intended to have this control but decided against it. I was going to try to add rudder to my build but have since changed my mind. The forth image shows one of the wing servo bays that I have reinforced as recommended in an earlier post. (I think Rube mentioned to do this.) I will continue to post images as the build progresses.
