Jerry Bates A5M4 Claude

I was looking for something unique and not something I was going to see at events. The Jerry Bates 1/4 scale Mitsubishi Claude fit the bill. My goal was to build a short nose plane with no lead in the nose. Other similar sized Peashooters were using lots of lead to get to CG. Being electric I mounted the batteries on the side of the motorbox in front of the firewall to achieve my goal. 

Features are:

108" Wingspan, 34 pounds, Hacker Q80-8M electric motor spinning a 24x10 Biela 3 blade prop, Castle ESC, Warbird colors paint, and Hi-Tec Digital servos.
