Nice modeling job Ray !
I can't believe you are actually going to "Electrofy It".
And I thought you were a "Real Modeler" using greasy engines to power your models.. Ha,ha.... Grin

Even with two electrics it will really move and sound great, can hardly wait to see it fly !
Put floats on it for June 30th and bring it down to the lake......
