I think I've settled on a solution for mine.

 Theres not much in it between adding one extra connection and this to be honest.

For me this leaves my batteries in my standard stick of 3 for use in other models. Just need to find a 10A connector for charging. Or use Timbo's method, which makes it impossible to charge with ESC connected.

Nothin' wrong with that! She needs luvin' too....

With the right bits of kit up front, she's a hot little mover

I think Danny likes his lightweight, but with the ability to shock

It's the electric personality that counts

Shaun my YT Hurricane is rock solid in the air and I put that down to it being a bit heavy, flies beautiful all the same, just comes in a little quick even with the flaps hanging down, see vid http://www.greenacresmac.com/Videos/Hurricane%202nd%20Flight.wmv

I wont have the same sort of power that you have nor the duration, if I want that then I will have to put in more cells and a bigger motor, so its swings and roundabouts.

I think you also would be amazed at the weight of a coat of paint. Pick the tins up, not all that weight is solvent and evaporates...........

Looks like I am set for flying in the morning, lets see what the weather holds

The suspense is killing........................

re: "a Camm nut, a man after my own heart  You looking forward to the forthcoming Hurricane from Mr N?"

Sure am...........!!!

Love what you have done with the Sea Fury.........but like you I really don't like the supplied scheme............I'd HAVE to change............somehow!!! 

Dave, have you seen my Sea Fury blog? I changed the scheme somewhat.

C'mon Danny.... what's the score?

Shaun, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer for the verdict that we are all so keen to know.

We did go to fly this morning, Danny with the Fury and me with my Ripmax DH88 on a cheap setup.

Due to the recent weather, the clubs new mower was taking the opportunity for its second outing and we couldn't fly within the time we'd allowed. It was also very cold and windy so we had to give it up as a bad job.

Plan is to go again one evening.So watch this space...

The good news is that the mower is doing a great job and the stip for the funflys should be superb.

Sorry chaps, as Chris says we got there but weren't able to fly, as soon as I get a chance it will be in the car, and I will let you know.

Thanks for all your support and wishes its really great

Shaun and Dave If this thing flies okay then I will change the color don't fear, probably all blue like the Navy Historic Flight version. Only need one pot of paint  - lock the spray gun on wide open and a couple of low passes should see it looking better.

Well the weather is being a real pain in the proverbial

Thought I would take the opportunity to show some pics on how to line up cowl, though I dare say you all know but for any newcomers to the hobby???

I have also decided to make a spinner from a cheap Mick Reeves static 1/6 spit spinner, perfectly okay for electric but NOT for IC

Cut a disk out of stiff paper with rings drawn for allignment, and mount on the motor

Attach paper stripsto fuselage to overlap cowl, and mark the centre of the mounting blocks 

Mount the cowl and align the opening to the disk

Drill through the paper strips on the mark, and there you have it the cowl will be alligned and the holes will be in the centre of the cowl blocks

Trim the Mick Reeves Vac Formed spinner and make a matching 1/4 ply back plate.Spin the backplate in a pillar drill (unless you have a lathe you lucky person, and chamfer the edge for a snug fit

Well I am only next door in South Staffs, it was blowing a gale yesterday!!
