Maintenance is a good thing, but I think he's going to have trouble getting those three engines into that one nacell.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Nah, they were already in there Tim, he had just pulled them.  He had three lines going in because he has a throttle.  Kinda cool watching it taxi around then take off.  He built this from plans I had and have since lost..Grrrrf

I haven't flown my 41" span profile Tigercat in several years, built the model in the mid 90's and it still have the same two engines from day 1. I need to upgrade the model from down the line electronics to 2.4 Ghz so I can get it back into the air.

Have fun at Brodak!
