Thanks. Any other weekend this summer would have worked but I leave town Thursday and won't be back until mid next week! Figures...

Darn, if you fly today or tomorrow and your buddy with the Vanquish comes out let me know, I'd like to take a look at it. F3AUnlimited is supposed to be getting back to me with info on if/when they are going to get the full size Mythos in. I like the lines of the 125 but would rather have the full size - easier to see in flight. Hard to believe it's easy for a full 2m plane making the weight with an additional lipo/regulator to feed the servos/Rx and with large 10s pack(s) for the motor based on what i hear on all up weights. I'm interested in seeing details about lightweight alternate battery source that makes sense for the Rx/servos that doesn't need recharging after every 2 flights...

What's the typical ratio these days of higher level pattern flyers at contests with electric vs glow fuel? That's another curiousity I have. I had a love hate relationship with YS AC engines back when I tried to fly contest pattern. The joke was you needed at least 3 engines. One in your plane ready to break at any inconvenient moment, the spare you had at a contest for when your primary broke, and the third back at the OS repair center getting fixed...it was't far from the truth for the most serious flyers...

What's the equivalent Hacker motor to the silver bullet? As is obvious, I already fly electric a little but I don't 'study' it, I just get what they recommend and live with it. But for this new plane, I want to put independent thought into setting it up hence why I'm doing research and asking probably dumb questions to any who's gone down this path already. BTW, are the monolog and the vanquish essentially identically presenting planes and equally capable and equally well made?
