Each motor has its own battery, electronic speed control, receiver and receiver battery. The red wire from the ESC is pinned back and only the signal wire and the black wire leads to the receiver's throttle channel plug.
The wing's spars are bolted to the fuselage's frames by 2 1/4 inch bolts which engage blind nuts in the frames; making a very tight joint at the aircraft's centerline.
The main landing gears are purchased from the designer's store.
The gear is pneumatically actuated.
The multiple receivers and batteries give the plane several layers of redundancy.
Most of the forward area lacks detailing which will be added after she becomes a seasoned reliable flyer.
All the glazing and finishing items are available separately from the kit manufacturer.
Gradually it evolved into a seasoned reliable flyer and with additional detail ling completed it evolves into a model of the famous Dambuster Lancs of WW2
