Just make an accumulator (battery) cart and plug it into the GPU connector on the airplane.  May take some research to figure out the details but the electrical connectors can be had from radio control suppliers.  Look for the small Dean's connectors.

If you go "in flight"...that's farely simple...

 

 

On the ground...well that's a whole 'nother animal! Maybe run the wires out by the tail wheel (slightly hidden)...or one wire down each main gear??? I haven't tried to motorize anything one the ground.

Good evening fellow modelers, I finaly bit the bullit and purchased this big kit. I finally came to step 40 which is engine construction. It shows a side shot of an electric motor instilation. I have 4 or 5 of these Airfix motors in stash. The diagram shows how to install one, but it stops there. My Question to you expert modelers is, what other hardware such as a switch, battery box and where would one mount or hide this stuff? Thanks guys for any input. (or gals)
