From what Ali has posted, the XL will be out Summer of this year. Gas or Electric will be the builder's decision

Looked through the thread to see an electrical installation but did not find it or any pictures. If you have done it would you be so kind as to take a few pictures of the motor and battery install, thanks

Fun with my Timber X ...

Pretty cool! I had the original, and am holding out for the timber xl. I just like burning gas

No pictures, but in the rcgroups thread Ali mentioned that Gary Wright (electric flight guru that horizon inherited from tower hobbies) designed a custom-wound motor for this plane. I think it will be part of the rimfire line of motors. The plane itself can fly on 10s or 12s systems, 4000 watts give or take a few hundred, and a prop about 24”.

Edit: I hope I didn’t make all that up, I can’t seem to find the original post....

If you need help with an electrical setup, thereare literally dozens of options that will work, and pics will be out by the time the plane is on the market
