Status: offline 		Being that there are no posts yet on this forum, I thought I start a discussion about what electric helis people fly.

I have a Raptor 50 converted to electric power, as well as Logo 10.

The Raptor flies every bit as well as its glow counterparts, without the mess.

Logo 10 does well at local parks due to its quieter geartrain.

What do you fly?

Status: offline 		I have the following:
Logo 10, Hornet, Eolo, and currently re-engineering a Quick 60 pro to electric.
The Logo 10 has a Hacker B50-13L and a Schulze 18.46K.
The Hornet is a cp version with a Hacker B20-22S, metal swash plate, upagraded sprague bearing, metal rotor head, and recently thrust bearing equiped tail rotor hub. I usually replace the parts with metal ones as the plastic ones wear out.
The Eolo has a Kontronik Fun 480-33 with a Smile controller.
I also have a couple of scratch built planes. All electric. I don't have any glow stuff anymore.
