The Byron Pitts I believe was designed around the Super Tiger 3000. That’s why it was kept light. Many people have tried a Gas engine but the problem with that is you need to find away to fuel proof and reinforce the airframe.

Both me and my dad are currently working on a pair of Byron Pitts from kit form. We plan on setting them up for electric with a 2800+ Watt motor on 10 cells. We are interning on keeping them as light as possible i.e. replace the original wheels and spinner with lighter ones and cut lighting holds in the fire wall. I am also going to double bevel the elevators and rudder to increase control throws.

Hopefully we can turn this into a great big foamy.
