I will give that a try on Sunday. The motor does have air scoops on the side of the motor box to aid in cooling. It should be OK. I have also closed off part of the cowl as recommended by E-flight.
I was also thinking about the + & - on the Deans conecters. I soldered the ESC first and those wires are color coded. I should be OK on that. The landing gear shipped on wed. It might come today so i can fly it Sunday. Inless the 4th holiday slowed it down. At least I can strap it down and do the battery test.

Thanks again for all the help.
