I'm building a 48" (1/2A) Herr Cub and using a Speed 400 motor. There are no instructions for doing an electric version, and I've never done one, so I could use some help.
The instructions call for gluing decking over the front part of the fuse after installing the fuel tank. This is where I want to put the battery pack, but I'm not sure where to put it for balance. I'm thinking either make the front decking a removable hatch so I have more access to the battery for balancing, or to build the wing and then tack everything together and balance the plane before building the decking.
The battery charger instructions warn not to charge the battery in the model. Does this really matter? If so, I'd better make a removable hatch. Otherwise, I'll probably use cable ties to secure the battery.
Any suggestions?
