my SIG Wonder, electric powered

Thanks to a member on this forum 'OLD PRAIRIE RED NECK' , I received the plan for SIG Wonder. The build started slowly a few months back, Finally finished it last month. From the beginning, I wanted to go for electric, so the power system I chosed:
battery 3S 2800mah
motor 35-36A 1400Kv
propeller APC 8x6E
about max 400W on the ground

Modifications I made:
1,extend the nose for about 1", to make the propeller plate stays at the same place as the engine version.
2,added a hatch on the nose to replace battery
3,close the 2 sides of fuselage at the end.

the wind was covered with Monokote, the rest just spray paint, for electric plane, spray paint is good enough, I think.
I didn't have wing warping problem like some others, then I balanced the plane exact to the plan.
On the first flight, the plane needs just a little trim, very maneuverable but stable enough.
Here are a few pictures I took at the Toronto club field.
