Dual (triple) rates set, stabilizer/gyro working in the proper directions, plane balanced, and 14/7 propeller installed.

Full throttle draws 50 amps on 14.8 volts.

All done; waiting for a nice day to maiden; maybe this coming Wednesday afternoon, if the forecast is suitable.

I think a 25 or a 32 on 4S would be more than adequate.

Building / Construction / Trainer 40

Just started construction of a Trainer 40.
Downloaded the instruction manual from OuterZone : https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=12744
This should be a fun and quick build.  ;D
There is no electric conversion instructions, so I will just wing-it. 
The plans include a top hatch already and a fuel tank bottom that will serve as the battery floor.
As for power, I was thinking a Eflite 25, but that may be a bit marginal, so probably will go for a 45.

Twin booms done.  The parts are so similar that it's tough to tell left from right.  Planeprint designs an "L" and "R" into parts.
