Default RE: Great Planes Combat Corsair and Mustang

I have not made up mind yet, but I think I am going to go with the brushless. This is because I am not flying at a club. I simply fly in a verry large open field. It has verry smooth grass so I think the retracts I am looking at will be ok, They weight 2.5 oz and say they can handle up to a 7lb airplane, but are pretty small and are electric so they should be pretty easy to install. I am a little gun shy of flying with a glow engine not at an ama sanctioned field. Also though I think the sound of the fs would be great, I like not having to carry any extra gear to go flying. No fuel, no clean up materials, no starter, well you get the idea. But as I said I have not made up my mind. Any one out there flying with a brushless conversion and if so how did it go. Any pit falls I should look for? Thanks and this is a great thread.
