Rafa,

that's good to know. When you say nose heavy, is that the condition with or without a tuned pipe? It's interesting because the glass 60's are reportedly tail heavy (will know soon enough).

I suspect the electric version might balance nicely given the lighter motor and the weight displaced toward the CG with the battery (the mass of the weight) in the tank compartment area. I'll be sure to place all servo's as far back as possible and allow the possibility of locating ESC's and BEC's in the radio area rather than above the battery.

For the glow, I'll be interested to find out how the modified assymetric build turns out. I'll be adding just about exactly 1" to the fuse length from the wing TE to the fin post making the tail moment that much longer.

Have you made any progress on the second electric Pico? How much power did you end up choosing for it? Do you have links to the components (motor, ESC, battery) you chose? You probably already know but be careful with ESC servo rating. With more than 4 servo's you might want to think about a separate BEC. I'll be going with Castle's 10A BEC which doesn't weigh a thing and is pretty small. Then again, the models will have 6-7 servos (flaps anyone )

David.
