Since I didn't get to fly this weekend after reading of the much pit runway reports. And since I've received my Motor and Mount from HK for the Super Tucano. I decided to measure, drill and fit the mount and motor. I used the existing holes in the fire-wall and re-drilled the mount to fit.
Then for the Lipo I made the bottom hatch removable with a latch for access. I removed the servo trays for the push pull retracts this gave me good access to fit a 6S Lipo in place of the fuel tank. (Will build a tray to hold the Lipo, epoxy that in when I finish the build and check the CG).
Since I removed the trays I will need to use Servoless retracts.
RC lander has just made and shipped me custom 130mm Oleo legs and metal retracts to fit staight in.
