I don't recall seeing any pics of cooling mod's to the FUSE. I've heard of a couple spoon scoup? Does this go on top? I had thought of putting a couple of circular holes on the bottom of fuse for cooling but now I'm thinking a couple of holes between the cannopy and rear section right where the ESC sits. Anyone have pics than can share on some cooling mods. I have two heat sinks on the Medusa on stock motor mount but it doesnt look like a hole lot of air is going to get through thier.
Which is exactly why I did the mods. as you see them on the current plane. Plus I found that by leaving the rear stock cover off I can get huge air to the motor and the prop.
Plus I can run any motor..... in runner or out runner. just add the correct adapter due to the mods.-wire tie on and go fly.

Ex. on the maiden Thursday I run the 4 cell with APC 4.75 by 4.75 it pulls 39+amps thru the motor. I ran basically WOT for 4 minutes. Cut throttle landed, felt motor and it was cold. It was about 81 degs. when I flew. I'll do the air scoop for the ESC next week as I'm covered with work. I'll post pics. It's a very easy and low tech. solution to a cooling problem.
Look a the pictures posted and you can see thru the canopy. Flow thru vent for the battery.
