E-Flite Taylorcraft conversion to GLOW!
When I first saw the E-Flite Taylorcraft, the first thing I thought was Wow! they finally came out with a really neat small scale ARF! Then later I found out that it was for electric only! What a mixed up world this is!
Well it looks like I will have to do it myself. I convinced a freind who only knew electric to go with the conversion too. We both bought Taylorcrafts and started the changes. The model is made very nice, but it is also made very light.
There is an electric motor mount that sticks out of the main firewall/bulkhead that we removed and replaced with a new firewall of 1/8th plywood. Also there is a horizontal structure behind this firewall that was removed for the fuel tank location. Two balsawood straps were glued in at a new level to support the 4oz. fuel tank.
