I'm not too familiar with the Kobra, but have converted a couple other glow planes to electric. One concern I would have is that you will need to stuff a 3000 mAh or larger battery near the nose to...

Kurt, is this a Senior, Junior, or other Kadet? I'm guessing the original RC-31 since you mention cowl and wingtips. You'll have fun with that build.

Skyrat, just curious what covering you used on your spiffy plane. It has a nice satin look. Is it paint on fabric, Solartex,?

I'm impressed. You even got the windows in. Now go buy a large bag of rubbers. They are the cheapest insurance you'll find.

I think you may want the extra thickness, or else they'll look a little spindly. And it'll give a bit more meat to attach your bracing.

RcPilot, are you planning tricycle or tail dragger? I would be more inclined to have flaps on tail dragger so you can play STOL pilot. If you are thinking it may be up to 15 lbs. make sure the wing...

A couple years ago I thought about doing this, and had some plans scaled to 125%. I have a 1.20 OS FS I think would be good in it. Like most things, it got put on hold.

I always find it amusing when sellers have no clue the value of what they have. You can buy this new for $115 directly from Sig. or with built in "patina" for $125, and not cheap shipping....

Well, if you are using it for training and not burning up the sky, the 11x5 may be a good prop. It would probably allow for a slightly slower landing with the bigger prop disk.
How is your training...

Good post Vinny. I'm always amazed with guys who can keep planes flying for years. I have some old ones, but none that fly every few weeks, or months. So, your plane had a 7 mile flight? That's quite...

Oh good, I see you have wing struts. I was wondering if you would use them. You don't want to pull a Rascal, especially with that DLE 55.

They can scan and scale to whatever size you want, and put the file on a thumb drive/ flash drive. Then depending on size they can print it. Not all Kink's have 48" printers which I needed. Most have...

Let's see. Wing backasswards, engine with pusher prop, ailerons set up like elevons. The tail acts like a canard, and off you go. Wouldn't that amaze your friends?
