Thats a Beauty. Has the perfect gaser to fly it. Now, If you want to go Electric you will need to do some surgery to the front end. You are off to a good start by having a removable fire wall (



assume to have access to the fuel tank). The issue is where do you put the motor battery and how to have easy access to it.
I spend most of my time on RCGroups although I was a member here first. There is lots of large scale electric builds and conversions on RCG so I suggest you have a look for more help there. Here is a picture of what you can do if you are able to modify the front end of the Fleet.

Knock, knock this thread still alive?

I’m interested in building a 1/4 scale Fleet. Concept Models Fleet kits seem to be unobtanium.
Was wondering if there are any kit cutters out there for this kit. I already have the 1/4 scale plans.

Thanks,

Thanks Ray, glad to still see you here.
I already reached out to PCK and it was a hard “no” for the 1/4 scale.

cheers,
