OK, I am thinking ahead to the next building season.  I plan to build the original 35 sized Stiletto. I have the Hunt lost foam system ready to go for the wing.  I could use some input on making this plane electric.  Here are my thoughts:

- I plan to use an E-flite 25. I think the 32 is too much and the 15 isn't enough - agree?
- I plan to build it so the battery top loads - any thing I should be thinking about?
- Looks like the tank compartment might be tight for all the electronics and batteries.  I am thinking I might have to cut into the leading edge.  Any concerns with wing strength? What can I do to mitigate issues?
- The plans show a 3 inch bellcrank.  Any reason to go to 3 1/2 or 4" ?  I am thinking 4" is too much for a plane this size. 

I am open to any thoughts any of you might have.  This electric stuff is all new to me.

What Bob says!!! Don't underestimate the power of a Power 15 sized motor. I know of a few people that are pulling 50+ ounce planes with them. As far as the battery goes yes make sure it will fit, but I would bet that most brands will. We are squeezing a 2700 mah zippy compact into the front of a UHP Gieskie Nobler. I can also tell you that that plane will easily carry a 4s 2200 and still do the full pattern with battery to spare.

George-
Did the Stiletto electrification come to completion?

Thanks George.
We are both looking forward to the day we have Electric Stiletto's.
