1. Remove diesel engine and mounting bolts.

2. Use a Perma-Grit tool and sand off the nose to make a new end face.

3. Sand a couple of degrees of right thrust into the new face and you should end up with something looking like this.

4. The picture below shows what the nose looks like after being faced off with the Perma- Grit tool.

5. Drill two holes into the original beech engine bearers as shown. An oversized piece of scrap light ply should now be screwed into the face end beech bearers using 2 wood screws.

6. Roughly carve and sand a new light ply nose plate in situ on the model. Here is a top view.

7. Screw the new nose plate and brushless motor mount onto the front of the model.

8. Drill a couple of access holes in the fuselage for the Peterborough Fet timer and ESC speed controller wiring and it is all finished.

My brushless motor set up consists of a cheap 10 gram outrunner from Micron, a 5x3 APC propeller and a 2 cell 450 mA lipo stuffed securely into the engine bay where the Mills used to be.

This picture shows a home made ESC controller on the side as I like building my own circuits.

For those new to brushless electric flight you could of course just buy the readily available KP brushless timer from SAMS Models or KP aero and it will work.

Tomboy flies consistently well in left hand circles followed by a smooth left handed glide.

The finished model.

Should I ever to revert to diesel again all I need do is remove 2 woodscrews holding the brushless light ply mount, remove the battery and then reinstate the Mills engine.
