Default RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD

got some work done on the plane today

All switches, air fill chuck,retract air valve, shunt switch, etc are all contained in the cowl area. The chin piece will be removeable of course and held on with with a good deal of rare earth magnets(perferable) or screws like shown on the box.
The rx battery is all the way up right under the motor itself. It is a 2700mah 6v nimh. I am thinking about using 2 of these considering the amount of servos that will be in the plane. I will wait till the plane is done and checking balance to see whether I need to put it up front like the other one is.
Although it would be nice to be able to change batteries without removing the wing, my batteries are quite big and putting them up in the chin area wouldnt work and I wasnt so keen on cutting such large holes through the rear bulkhead where the ESC is mounted on in roder to slide them in and out through the chin.
I am sure Coastwatcher on RCGROUPS will decide to do that though.
