Default RE: Small Electric Planes

Plug and Play (PNP) that's what it has come down too. Nothing more and nothing less. Electrics' started in Germany and eventually made their way into the US market. The reason and only reason the Germans went to electrics is because of noise regulations and not because they were the wave of the future. Recently I took my 1/4 scale gas powered J3 Cub to our local flying field were 95% of the members fly electrics and guess what plane was the star attraction. When I started in this hobby I learned how to fly on a Falcon 56. It had a 56" WS and was three channel equipped. Now what I see in electrics are average WSs' of 39" or less don't you consider this as a devolving instead of evolving.
