I would also like to know if anyone has figured out how to do the wing struts. They are completely left out of the instructions.

Thanks,

Butch

Has it been determined that there is no battery hatch? The wings must be removed to access the battery?

I thinks there's a battery hatch. You can see part of some sort of hatch on the belly of the plane in one of the pictures.

in reference to the battery change,??must be another way??or do you really have to take off the wing?also what is the recomended H K motor/esc/prop

yea that should be ,im guessing there is a hatch uder the fuse for battery access kinda like GWS and others , you just cant see it in the picturs, but if it is there well looks like the wing and struts have to coome off ,that sucks right? i have a suspition that ther is a hatch underneth fuse.

Unfortunately you do have to take the wing off to install the battery. I used a TNGY C2826 motor with a 7X6E TGS sport prop, powered by a 1800 mA battery and a TNGY 18-20 esc. Note, check the wing tip washout and elevator warp before maiden flight!

Do the wings have to come off every battery change?

yes it does, because of this the plane will look more scale then if it had a battery hatch...

1 thumbs up!

great plane, I put a e-flight 480, 9x6.5 prop, needed hard surface take off, the workman ship is awesome for a wood mono kote, I would buy another for parts if I crash, the plane flies great and inverted, build time takes 2-3 hrs, use 1/4" car pinstriping around window edges for trim (white) looks custom

Setup Turnigy 28-26 1350kv (could be bigger for better CG. Power OK) 1800 2c 3 cell 8x5 Master airscrew Turnigy plush 18 amp (pushing hard but I have good cooling) Flying weight 32 oz (spec is way off) Took me 3 days to complete. Minor issues... Cowl too tight. Added hardwood cowl mounts Recommended motor needed to be spaced out 1/4 inch Holes in wheels too big (worked OK however) Overall workmanship and covering stunning. Very pretty. Very strong. Flys like a trainer should. Cruises at half power. Landings and ground handling very sweet.
