Most don't mind 20% off of flying time or speed vs having to travel hours or only flying on the weekends or not at all if there are no turbine fields in the area.
I've flown a 1/5th scale F-16 pretty decent authority electric so the larger models can be flown, just takes a little engineering in fan placement.
The models today are lighter and stronger now while heavy carbon cells and stable 24s ESC's allow for 40 lbs fans.
Cool Deal Bud just a throwing out ideas, I have seen some guys do some pretty cool stuff with Electric and I wish I knew more more about electric stuff. Anything electrical is my kryptonite! Good luck, I was told there are some A-6 intruders on the boards but thats just word of the mouth. I would give anythign for a 1/5 size like the orig Mibo one!
