Hey, 
    Firstly must congratulate RC Bazaar for bringing this sport with in reach of us mere mortals. Thank you, this is very much appreciated. 
    About a week ago i bought a Guillow PT 17 Stearman kit from RC Bazaar.

   The plan is to convert this gem from a free flight/U control to an electric RC Flyer. The Specs so far planned are as follows

motor: 1400KV 160W
ESC:    20A
Lipo:    900mAh 20c 2s1p
Prop: 8X6E
Transmitter/receiver: FlySky FS CT6B/fs r6b.
     To Date the upper wing is completed, the lower wing with ailerons close to complete. The fuselage undercarriage assembled( not in pics).



     This project is a collaborative effort between my dad and i. He has been into aeromodeling since 1958. This kit is a nice way for the both of us to get back into this hobby. The new electric format is new to us and hopefully, this project lands safely and well!

Hi Vikram.. thanks a lot for the update. unfortunately i am not able to see these images. i think we need to re-look at our forum section altogether again..
