You are a hundred precent right. They are kits not finished but to many that is the fun of it. I'm making no attempt to horn in on your thread which I thought was open but I could be mistaken. Something different for everybody I like something more than a little bug looking cap but again to each his own. Have fun. ed

Normally flights are around 6 minutes with 10 possible if needed. Normal flight uses less than half available battery. Batteries are 5/5000 two per nacelle in series or about 45 volts at beginning of flight. ed

Denny A 110 on eight 3900 to 5000s works great with plenty of extra power. I've been flying mine for five years now without problems. Almost vertical when needed. A 160 on 10 is a bit of an overkill but it would be a rocket. ed

RE: Don Smith Cessna T-50
Murph On all my aircraft I never use flaps for takeoff. They are just not needed on our golf course green runway but I've always used them for landing if available. The big bird will leap off the ground if I let it. I normally drop half flaps on down wind leg and full flaps are called just after leveling wings on base. It gives the ship time to stabilize in speed and pitch before rolling onto final. On this particular model the builder did not add the flaps into the wing. Since the bird was already covered I did not want to redo everything until possibly later. They would be of great help but a close eye to glide slop and speed keeps me pretty much on track although I land a little faster than if I had 45 degrees of flaps deployed. My big warbirds use flaps on almost every flight including in winds. I flew jets for almost thirty years so I tend to fly a fairly flat approach using a fixed alpha and use throttle to maintain the proper attitude until touchdown Going all electric the rpm is much easier to control and the power is immediate when needed. Make life much easier. Average flight times have been over 7 minutes with and additional 3 minutes of reserve if needed.

RE: Don Smith Cessna T-50
Murph My "canopy" section was added before covering not duplicating the actual section being simply screwed on as it was in real life. If I had it to do again and it looks like I may. I would cover the ship first and then add the canopy as it was on the real one. One can use screws as used on small railroad cars 00 and 000 brass screws or small rivets and it would take a bunch. I went back and simulated the screws with silver pen and then pencil just to show something other than paint. The windows in the side were framed after the fabric using 1/64 plywood frame and added the screws again as though maintenance had required them to be pulled at sometimes in its earlier history. Nothing fancy just a silver ink pen and a #2 pencil works well for me. Also a Monokote pin works well for doors and other maintenance panels. I know its cheating but it don't look to bad from 10 feet.
