Default RE: GP .60 Reactor Bibe

Got my Reactor Bipe all done this weekend.
I did it as an electric setup. So far it worked out good. Have not had a chance to maiden it yet. Work has been busy and with the holidays fast approaching, other things are taking priority.

I used some relatively inexpensive components from Hobby King for this.
The motor is Turnigy SK 50-65-380. Similar to the Rimfire 80 but less Kv. So I will have to use a bigger prop than the manual suggests.
ESC Is a new Turnigy 85 amp
Batteries are 6S 5000mah 20c

I ended up using some aluminum stand offs I had laying around to mount the motor. They just happened to be the perfect length with this motor.
Here are a few pics of the motor install.
