Hello Builders!

I recently purchased an AT-6 Texan kit from Scale Dynamics. It has not arrived yet, but I'm getting pretty excited about it. It's something I've been drooling over for years and years. I finally decided to bite the bullet and order one. I'll post pictures and details during the build. Any (constructive) comments are welcome. If you have a special technique or want to add any advice, please do so.

Here are some details of the airframe.

The fuse is fiberglass and the wings and tail are foam. The kit includes some scale appointments, but does not include sheeting and capping. It has a 3 part split flap system that looks really cool. It has an 81” wingspan and should weigh about 8-10lbs when finished. The kit specifies a .90 to 1.20 nitro 4 stroke, but I’m leaning towards going electric. I could really use help picking out the right motor/ESC/and Battery combo for the conversion.
I think this will be a fun and fast (more or less) build.
