If one wants to go electric thats fine however to start with such a large and heavy one such as the Senior telly then that is a real bad idea and Jester's estimates are actually quite low.

I just recently solo'ed a gentleman who just had to have a large trainer and it had to be electric and he was willing to pay for it. He ended up with a Cadet Senior that one of the fellows helped him convert and only name brand and good stuff was used. Now don,t ask me about those details since I,ve no interest especially large electric, I only flew and taught him in that ship.

He already had a resonable transmitter and the cost to him including the airplane and everything in it along with equipment for proper charging and one spare set of batteries was just over one thousand dollars!

Now this ship flew pretty good and since I got quite a bit of time in on it I can say its performance is about parallel with my my own Kaydet that I keep for training which is powered with an OS .35AX.

Its it worth it? well certainly not in my book but perhaps some
