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!
