Default RE: Delro E-Motion kit

The first E-Motion kit in the US is being built by another pattern flyer in Virginia. He is sending me the build info and I will post it as it comes in.

Installation of firewall.

1. Firewall was set up at factory for Plettenburg EVO.
2. After looking at cooling capability for motor I decided that two cooling openings should be added to the firewall. Instructions do not include this action.
3. Before installation into fuselage two ¾” holes were drilled in upper portion of firewall. This should allow enough air over the motor for cooling. Air passages will also need to be added in the front area of the fuselage to allow air into the motor location. Again this is not shown in the instructions or detailed photos. I did see what looked to be like a front venting in a picture included with the kit.
