Angus,

I wasn't saying the YS wont do it. I said if you try it at a throttle setting that the aircraft stops in the snap and then accelerate out, that the electric has instantaneous torque. Done at a normal throttle setting they both blow right through it. I was simply coming up with a scenario to demonstrate the electrics torque curve is essentially flat, whereas any internal combustion engine has a torque curve and an RPM range that it generates the most torque. The YS motors certainly have no issues with power and they produce longer flight times. With most of the electric setups out there you can fly any of the sequences without any issues in any wind conditions, but you are right, you have to manage your power, whereas the YS you can go all the way all the time if you want. Neither setup though needs to be flown this hard as I'm sure you'll agree. I loved my YS setups, but so far electrics have more than exceeded my expectations, but you are right, it is still a personal preference and both will certainly do the job and do it well.
