Do you fly electric and what is it?
E-gpeden
"You chose the most fragile, hard to setup electric heli in the world ..."
Touche, mon ami, trust me to buy the most inappropriate electric heli. I didn't know that but do now. Perhaps other Eco8 enthusiasts would take issue, but that's just my experience. Far too much invested in it to sell it now, so I'll return to it when I've learned on the Caliber.
What appealed to me about electrics was the quietness, cleanliness and lack of all the gubbins one needs to to start an IC heli. Perfect for walking down the lane to the pastureland. Well quiet and clean sure, but the heavy duty leisure 12 volt battery, charger, 5 sets of 2400/3000 batteries seems to be a bit expensive, time-consuming and have limited charging all for quite limited duration, even with the impressive (and expensive) Hacker/Schulz. I'd be hard pressed to get a decent afternoon's flying in all the same. I wouldn't dream of knocking others that I don't know, so thanks for the correction.
