Default RE: STAR WARS Tie-Fighter Interceptor Build?

I got home and checked the mail and there was a small box. I about flipped out it was my motor esc and battery. I had just ordered it on Tuesday and it is here already. Sweet!! very excited. It is a darn good looking motor to really like it.

I have the battery charging now and will mess around with the motor location next. it is a tad heavier over all and with the bigger battery. So that means my CG will have t be adjusted again. I will have to shorted the length of the motor shaft which is good with me. I never liked it sticking way out there like it did. So it will look better with it shorter and more like my test model was.

Now I just need to think of a way to mount it. On the E-Flight450 it had a stick mount which made it easy. On this one if has the cross "X" mount so I will have to glue on a backplate or something. I will figure something out though. So should be back up in the air by tomorrow if not Sunday for sure. If I get off early enough tomorrow I will give it a shot.

Oh yeah wanted to thank Tower Zack for the link on that website. The price was awesome and the shipping was very fast. My kind of people!!
