If you set it up correctly and manage your battery correctly and monitor how they are behaving then you rarely have an issue. I just never had that feeling when I flew IC"

There are problems with YS sure. It's necessary to like and have skill in mécanics.
But it's not true to tell with Electric there is no problem. I have a lot of examples whose friends burn their controlers, batteries.
I personnaly saw electric patterns burn in flight. Planes were totaly destroyed.

In French championship (International category FAI) yesterday on friday, Axiome's controler burst after the first figure so the gear broke at the landing and the flight was lost.
Third flight motor support broke destroying the front of the plane. So Third flight was lost and he will not participate to the Fly off.


hi papaone,
Don't forget to tell that in french Nats, around ten dead sticks With YS during the championship. Many hours of mechanic between flights. Both have advantage and inconvenient but please be unbiased Papaone!
In my opinion, take the engine you want, do'esn't matter if it's electric or glow, the only limit you will find is your skill!
But Fly!!! it is the most important!
