Joe,
That's a great looking Sabre!
The major difference between the Maverick and the Agressor fuselages was the fiberglass layup schedule. As I recall, the fuselages came from the same mold....BVM has more than one set, but they are the same until time for the layup. More carbon is used in the Agressor and Viper.
The same fuselage mold took care of the Maverick, Maverick Pro, Agressor and the Viper....the wings were design specific, and featured different planforms and areas.
A Wren should be a good powerplant for it, but as you can tell, I'm just a little partial to JetCat.
Another good power system would be the BVM EVF system....the latest highest attained speed for the Electra is 211 MPH....that is really scooting for an electric.

Hi Harley,
The Maverick was the first kit from the new molds (that had the seperate canopy hatch molding, the 2 piece plug in wing, and would accomodate the Sullivan 11 ounce DF tanks). IIRC, this fuse molding was indeed shared with the Maverick Pro, the Ultra Viper and the Aggressor 3. The kit in the picture is of an early Aggressor (or Aggressor II, I can't remember) which I THOUGHT was from a different mold.
Still I am not sure Gary's will fit, but if it would I would encourage that as I have always wanted to try that with an old Ultra Viper kit I have, but I am thinking more about an electric Viofan for that one!!
