Default RE: Had a fast flight today

The electric is so easy, once you get the right set up it's really just charge and fly. I still haven't gotten the F3D to run right so it's an unknown, but even once/ if I do the noise and PITA factor will make it a rarely flown airplane.

I've asked a few well known Q40 racers for tips on the motor and most say it's not worth messing with it's so hard to get running right. One even said to just part the plane out on E-bay... One day an electric motor might find it's way into the F3D.

Electrics are the future.
