RE: Texas sized R/C plane
Ditch the electrics and stick a DA-150 under the hood. Time between flights is only as long as it takes you to fill the fuel tank; forget about waiting a month for those batteries to charge!. Plus, if you can afford 1million+ dollars for batteries, an extra 2000 for a real power system shouldn't be too painful
I'm just curious to know, why did you use a million-dollar electric power system in the 1st place when a comprable gas engine is available for hundreths of the price?

Well Tower Hobbies doesn't sell DA-150's and since I already spent the $14.99 for the Tower membership, I figured I'd spend all my money there and get the best discount in the hobby. Maybe I could have saved $1,843,298 in batteries by getting the DA-150 for it but then I wouldn't have gotten the free shipping and the frequent buyer points.

Still waiting to see that revolver or 50 caliber mod to the plane. Also, you might want to try a tesla coil to help suppliment the power source, just make sure you are wearing a rubber suit. Battery charges are too slow, be sure to plug it into a single phase, 220v, 50 amp sub panel directly, that should give it enough juice to charge faster.

Why not go with the Gatling gun from an A-10 Warthog.

Thanks for the update, so there should be 2 guns that fire from either end at once, I'll be sure to stop production on the current one since you have enlightened us upon that. I guess the original one should just be stuck with tow missles instead.

RE: Texas sized R/C plane
LOL...that's great...the kids were falling for it I would go with the M249 over the .50, the .50 might throw it off balance if the shots are out of sequence.
