Time to start working on the wings. First cut away the “stub wings”.

Since I’m going to use a brushless setup I’ll need to do some modifications. The motors had a bigger diameter so I turned the motor mount around and sanded the inside. I also had to shorten the mount a little.

I soldered the motor directly to the ESC.
