Skyshark 1/9th Scale TBM Avenger Build

[MikeT]

Love the look of the Avenger, I had one of the 80 inch Cy Models ones flew really well considering the 10kg weight :(

Good looking model.

Finished the wing today. Shorten up the wiring after the pictures. I'll get the fuse down today and button that up and I should be finished short of C.G. .

Only 38,755 rivets to go! LOL It is going to be great Mike! ;):Cool::Cool: Nice work Bro!

[MikeT]

So here it is got a couple of issues to resolve but anyone who builds knows that feeling. Pretty light and should balance. Test hops coming but the conditions will have to be right.

It was a on and off project and I got sidetracked more than once, like a broken foot that took almost 5 months to heal and by other projects ( Thanks to Motion R/C ). It happens when I build. I think my next build the 1/4 scale SE 5 will go quicker but ya never know. I've got a few issues to resolve before I fly it and have the right weather conditions. Here in El Paso 100 + degree summers is no friend
to scale models or their pilots.

Looks great Mike, a labor of love and just look at the results!!
Hoping the old adage of,
"If it looks good it'll fly good" comes true for you

Great thread , always wanted a TBM and regretted selling my 81” CY Models but that one was just to large.
Yesterday I was very lucky to purchase the Skyshark 100% built with all the servos and retracts.
Any help on an electric conversion suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I hoping for a 6s5000 conversation but I am estimating I may need 8s ?

[MikeT]

I really like my Skyshark Avenger. The rights to the kits were purchased and supposed to be in the works. I'd love to do another one.

HI Mike
Great TBM !!
Can you please advise the power system needed ?
I want to go with e-power and hoping for suggestions.

[MikeT]

Power 60 on 6S. ESC of your choice.

Mike,
Beautiful model. I have a kit waiting to be built. If possible, could you show some photos of your motor, esc and battery. Thanks Best Regards, Rex

[MikeT]

I manufactured a box and cut the existing firewall to get the battery all the way forward. I have to remove the wing to access the battery. Kinda a pain in the a$$ but I didn't see cutting up the fuse for a hatch. I'll post a picture of how I handed all the retract stuff in a bit.

One the wing everything is mounted in the center section. I use a harness to avoid having too many leads to deal with connecting to the fuse.
