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.

don't forget the bulk pricing you got for the batteries.

I realize that sarcasm is hard to pick up in the typed word, but I really hope no one is taking this thread seriously.

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.

If you did, you'd have to point it backwards. That gun actually slows the warthog down when it's fired. It'd probably stop that little plane. That's dangerous way to try to do 4D[X(]

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.

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.
