OK guys.
The main purpose for This thread was meant to be info for a conversion.
Read the title. It says: ELECTRIC/.40 TRAINER CONVERSION
NOT 'Your gasser sux....get a cheaper electric"!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matt--you're argeing with me no (oh---'now that I go back over it'....whatever!!!)You ASKED for this info.....OK????!!!!!!
The price comparison was only to show that they were CLOSE.....CLOSE people...NOT cheaper....or the same price.
I'm not going to address every issue because I DID NOT start this thread to argue. You're all RIGHT...ELECTRIC IS MORE EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!! I agree!!
Dennis, you showed your true colors with your last statement. Obviously you have a chip on your shoulder. Fine, leave me out of it. I never bashed you, and if you fly/turn people on to e-flight, then why in the world would you say 'I;m not your every-day' glow-flier'. Obviously You're not. I never said you were!!!!! Just because someone isn't into RC, doesn't have anything to do with whether the can solder or not. If you want to nit-pick my info, FINE. No one EVER said this was the say all, know all of RC electric-flight, obviously. Excuse me. . I was simply posting info on a conversion Matt (a MOD who has helped me) was interested in.....not trying to offend you. My price comp. left the electrics higher for a reason, and was simply something I threw together in about 2 min. as a thought.

See...this is what I hate about this posting on RCU. You try to do someone a favor by posting some info......and people have to show how smart they are, and jump down your THROAT!!!!
Whatever
I'm taking the info off cuz it seems I'm WRONG, as you've all so nicely pointed out.
And who says all newbies are poor??!!??!!

The main point was to give some ppl. who were interested some info on switching a wet trainer to an electric one. Period.

Oh-well.
