Go ahead and get rid of all those planes. They are a distraction
I think you're right.
The biggest problem you have is to test with a real world correct working system, you need to, dare I say, convert one of the finished planes or your Albi.
I just couldn't.
Your planes, all dolled up, are probably 2 pounds heavier than what an electric builder is after...
That sounds like Myth #1 popping up again: "You HAVE to build an electric model lighter than you build a model for glow/gas." Unless, what people are really meaning with this is something like: "Because of the additional weight of batteries, it is necessary to build an model for electric power lighter so that the total weight will be the same as a model with gas/glow power." A model with a total weight of, say, 8lbs (including the whatever powers it) should be the same. I don't know much about the weight of batteries, but if it is significant it may be true that adding battery weight to my already heavy scale models could be a problem.
