ic to electric
Hi Guys, I have been flying ic for many years now it's time to try electric. I brought myself a Tiger Shark trainer. It's now ready to go but I would like to know if there is much difference between ic and electric to flying.
Cheers all....

RE: ic to electric
I/C glow, noisy, dirty, fuel is expensive, have to set throttle up right to get good linear feel.
I/C gasloline, loud, not as dirty, fuel is cheap, servos are expensive. still have to setup throttle for good feel
Electric, quiet, clean, linear throttle right out of box, needs some expensive stuff (batteries, charger)
all become a mess of sticks when you screw up

RE: ic to electric
Sorry, I didn't read before posting. I meant quieter. I am sooooo glad that we have a spelling guru on the site! I don't think I could live without one. I was under the impression that this site was for the discussion of model aviation.

Did you mean "quieter" or "quiter"? There is a difference even when spelled wrong.

Hey Chris.
I was going to go out this afternoon but the darned wind just picked up. I imagine that it's blowing pretty good out at Straw. To much to maiden the Corvalis.

I bet you will miss him, too. Did you guys manage to get any flying in? (with ski's?)
When I left Navy Boot way back when, I went home for two weeks then back to Great Lakes for almost a year of Tech school, so I understand what you are saying.
