Default RE: Getting started in electric F3A

Electric F3A and cheapest????? lol.... sorry but that's a contradiction in terms.

I've recently decided to give it a try as well and do not have any F3A experience or equipment and virtually none of my IMAC GS gasser stuff is of any use. Of course you can start smaller than 2M and with less expensive equipment but one thing you need to consider is how you're going to charge batteries at the field? There's a reason you see a lot of Honda generators when that electric powered F3A crowd shows up at the field.

Long story short; I've dropped over $5,000.00 in the last couple of weeks and don't have all the model stuff yet, but I am reasonably close with some pretty nice equipment.

So if you'd care to share your idea of what you'd like to spend, it would be easier for these guys to offer suggestions?
