Construction of my E-Plane

(from JK Aerotech)

 

 

Here it is outta the box (the spinner & prop were'nt included):

 

 

Of course, I decided to modify the kit as soon as I got it outta the box.

I wanted to duplicate the motor mounting technique I've used with other JK Aerotech planes - using Coroplast fuselage doublers and nylon cable ties to mount the motor - so I cut off part of the fuselage and created my own fuselage doublers:

 

 

I thought cutting the fuselage as shown would give the nose of the E-Plane a more streamlined appearance while moving the position of the motor away from the fuselage for better balancing options. Hmmm.

 

 

Before spraying the fuselage, I did the following:

 

 

Time to glue the wing into place I carefully taped a few encyclopedias together - it worked great - I used silicone glue:

 

 

 

Here is the E-Plane ready to have everything installed:

 

 

Here is the E-Plane getting the servos, RX, ESC & motor installed.

I'm putting in a 480 motor instead & I'm using a different ESC - probably a Castle Creations Pegasus 35.

 

More to follow - someday. I really don't like the color scheme for this plane - very lame - I must've been in a way bad mood when I selected the fuselage color. I'm thinking of doing it over again. Yuk!
