Shoot! I forgot to answer the questions about ESC and balt,, et al ..

In this case, this weekend,, Ihad no ESC yet so Andrew let me borrow an ICE 120. Giant ESC. I will replace it ASAP. The batteries were inexpensive Skyking 30C packs. I think Ihave 110.00 bucks in each 10Spack!! Darin tried them in his Spark. He said they felt about the same as his expensive cells.

Note: My intention with this plane was to get back into competitive pattern flying with the most reasonable cost. I really wasnt ready to blow the bank until I made sure it was right. I LOVE to build. Jeff plane fit the bill perfectly. I used and inexpensive motor, radio, servos and battery. I am not disappointed in the result in any way. The results show me its completely possible to compete this way. That being said,, I'm a sucker for all the "Cool" stuff. Its a struggle every day not to buy 100.00 props, Secraft this-and-thats, 600.00 motors, yada, yada..

Iwill be buying that stuff eventually, I imagine!!
