Looks good Rex, great flight report!

We're almost done with ours, just need to install the rx and electronics.

Thinking we might go with a Monster scheme on this one :)

I think the base scheme would be a great starting point for several themes that have a bright green look to them. The Monster scheme would be very cool looking.

I though about "doing" something with a Mountain Dew® look since that is one of my favorite soft drinks. Heineken® could work............probably a lot of others would be a nice fit as well.

Thanks for sharing Rex. This would definitely help anyone who wants to convert to electric. I know there are lots of people who wants go try electric but don't know how to start. How do you compare this set up to your previous gas setup?

Great job on the build!
