what size are you planning to build ?
asked because the 2200's look a bit bulky for a average sized profiler

I dont have any other Lipo... so will have to use it.. The size of plane will be exactly as in the plans.

If I remember correctly it was only 1300-1600mah 3S recommended. 2200mah too bulky.

Printed the tiled plan on to A4 and stuck them together.
Ensured the scale was correct.

Then started the build with the fuse - Very very easy. Traced on to some HD thermacole sheet and cut out with a knife...
