A few years ago I noticed a sleek e-powered kit marketed by Aveox called the Embat. As I was not doing electrics at that time I thought that it might make a nice conversion to glow power. But by the time I decided to act Aveox dropped the kit. Acting on an impulse a few months ago I did a search on eBay and was surprised to find that some more kits had been produced by the designer, Bob Sliff, and I bought one.

This is a simple design and the only modification was to cut the nose and make a new firewall. Wingspan is 50", wing area is 375 sq.in. and weight is 34.5 oz. with an OS.15LA engine. With the firewall as I positioned it there is 2 oz. of lead under the crankcase for balance. (I hate that!) Flying will wait till our club parking lot and field dry out in the spring, alas.

Sweet! Me likey, that thing looks like it will be hellafast. Could you maybe post a link on where to find one.
