I had this ARF for a while and it is now time to assemble the thing. I am planning on converting this to electric. Although I generally prefer glow, I think that the reliability of electric will be a desirable feature considering it is a twin and it is a flying boat.

I bought a pair of Aeolian 4260 600kv that I will try to match to scale four blades propelers from FMS. Those props are from the 1400mm FMS P-47. The biggest challenge will be to make the prop hub fit into the 2" spinner and I will have to modify the way the spinner cone is attached to the backplate.

If that all work good, I might consider adding scale retractable gears in the future...
