A while back I shared with you guys how someone had brought a bunch of stuff to the airfield and gave it away and I scored the SIG T-Clips.
Here is the real plane.

Well it has taken all summer for me to gather all the parts and make the repairs but she is ready for the maiden!
I had to rebuild the engine mounting box and get the engine mounted the correct distance from the fire wall so that he cowling would fit properly.

The cowling had a huge hole it it from the attempt to make it a gasser and I was not sure how to fix that so I tried covering it with covering film and it came out very well! I am happy with it.

I had to make a floor/shelf for the battery because the original slide out tray was cut out.

The ESC fits in very nice behind the fire wall.

The motor I choose is from Heads-up rc and it is a 900Kv equal to a .32 two stroke fuel engine that will swing a 13x6 prop with no trouble. I got the wood prop and aluminium spinner from the stuff the guy left at the field also, It looks so cool!
