Default RE: GP .60 Reactor Bibe

Here it is all done.
I have since added some decals, but I don't have the plane assembled at the moment for a photo.......

All up weight with the battery is 8 lbs 1 oz. A bit heavier than a Nitro install. But my wing loading is still 16.23 oz/sqft.
I plugged in the watts up meter for some readings.
With a 17x8 E-prop this is what I got.
1427 watts at 60 amps
Translates to 178 watts/lb
Digital fish scale tied to the tail gave me 12 lbs 7 ozs static thrust.
I have a 16x10 to try and see what kind of numbers that produces.

Overall I think it should fly nicely. Hover and pull out should also be good.
