Hydro -

oops! Well over to Obrien135 then. Yep my Gentle Lady was the Electra kit. Started flying with a 1 lbs nicad and big servos and updated with Lipos and micro servos. Still have the bushed motor. I started building it in ‘87, finished it waiting out the 2004 Florida hurricanes and finally started flying in 2008. It is still good for 20-40 minutes in weak thermals.
