Hi
Here's some shots of this Fokker conversion I've been working on. At the moment I'm planning on using two 5S 2200 lipos in parallel, probably with a 12X6 or 13X7 APC prop. Weight of the model is about 5.1 lb or 2.5 kilos and with the 5S and 13 prop I'm getting up to 1000 watts/57 amps so I doubt I'll be using more than 50% throttle most of the time. I'd like to be able to do some aerobatics which was impossible with a similar sized SE5 on a 4S lipo, so this time I'm upping the power :D

Home made wheels, they're a bit rough but weigh 35 grams each verses the spoked wheels supplied with the kit which weigh 100 grams each. I'm also using a Sportbec so all up Im saving a few hundred grams.
