Default RE: Proctor Mini Anti-Bipe (with mods) Build Thread

Both sides are complete now and I've begun installing the internal structure to one side. This step is taking some time since I need to make sure everythng is squared up and dry before moving onto the next piece. One thing I noticed is there is no right thrust on this model, but there is down thrust. Does anyone know if right thrust should be added to this model? If I don't add it I can always add a rudder to throttle mix to compensate.

I visited our great local hobby shop, Hobby Hangar, and picked up a Hanger 9 motor mount. I need to think more about how the front end should be designed for electric power but I'm comfortable proceeding with more construction for a bit longer. One option I'm considering is permanently securing the cowl sides to the firewall and using this as a frame for a motor box (I wouldn't then use the Hanger 9 motor box). I'll cut a hole in the firewall for the battery once I get the design nailed finalized.
