E_19_6.jpg (27024 bytes) Hitec receiver, a 4channel FM converted to 5 channel  and two HS101s for the V-tail. The purple tube is a drinking straw used  to feed the aerial down inside the fuse.
Speedcontrol is BEC and  home made, it can handle 50amps+ for the short periods needed . E_19_7.jpg (24452 bytes)
E_19_8.jpg (13636 bytes) I used two wing bolts at the rear with the holes slightly oval to allow for wing flex at the joint.
I run a 14*7 prop and get to a good height in 8 to 12sec. I use 7*1000 cells and get 4 to 5 climbs. I caculated about 40-45 amps. E_19_9.jpg (21524 bytes)
E_19_10.jpg (20840 bytes) I kept the frontal area as small as I could.
