Great way to utilize the couch Rae. I would become a soprano if I tried that.

Now that is a Mossie Rae. Bravo Zulu.

… and electric!

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.... ;D ;D
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......
