Tandy, a word to the wise to
share with all of your buddies on electric. The switch on a ESC ( speed
controller ) is NOT and On and OFF switch. It is an ARMING Switch. When
you plug the battery into a ESC it is hot and working. but the switch
keeps the signal from the receiver from getting to the ESC to hange the
throttle setting. So that means that the ESC is drawing power from the
battery even though it seems like nothing is happening. Which in turn
means that it is draining the battery a little and if you forget to unhook
the battery even though the switch is in the off position it can easily
drain the battery FLAT. So that will absolutely ruin a Lipo battery. When
you are done flying always unplug the battery or learn the hard and
expensive way. I know because I forget at times and have to buy another
Lipo........

OK, to inlay the fuselage side structure, 1/16"
medium balsa sheet was used. The right side of the fuselage inlay is shown
below. However, 3/32" sheet balsa was used on the combing on the aft
window at the rear. There is still more considerable work to do on the
windows.
The left side of the fuselage inlay is shown
below. Notice the hole in the inlay.
This is a close up of the hole in the first bay
of the fuselage structure. Its purpose is to help promote additional air
ventilation and circulation for cooling the Speed 400 electric
motor........................Tandy
