Hey,

I am not sure if I am going to put a tunnel in my Electric Integral. I see from pictures from Jas & Andrew that they do not have any!

Any thoughts from you guy's? I am worried that it might be alot of air coming through the fuz. Should I block off the radio gear section?

Any pictures or comments on a tunnel or cooling dams would be appreciated.


Cheers!
As far as putting the tunnel in the plane. I found no reason to do this. With the fuse being a composite wood sandwich I found it to be plenty strong to pick up by the underside. If you can afford the extra weight and want it in there go ahead. As you can see by my picture I use a piece of carbon honeycomb from the wing tube to the forward most gear plant that runs vertical. I personally would not mount your battery on the floor itself as I think it could break the flooring.
