Bruce's Comments... Thank you, Mike, for building such a
beautiful model and sending the great pic!
Considering the light weight, it must have been built from one of the
few "e-friendly" V60 kits that were
produced many years ago. That was back before brushless motors
and LiPo batteries when builders
were scratching and clawing to save every ounce of weight.
Nowdays, the V60 should be relatively
easy to convert to e-power at nearly the same weight as glow power with
a full tank of fuel.
