My local club still flies combat with small electric setups made from fan fold. I can't find the link to the planes but I believe it was an Iowa clubs design and a little digging should get you plans. The power systems are very basic and the planes fly pretty decent and take little time to assemble, and reassemble. The setback neccesary for anything bigger then B class combat is very limiting to IC combat, sometimes the setback for B is bad enough. But newbies can fly these fanfold combat planes and that makes for the more the merrier AND nothing like evading and hunting of combat makes folks get over the skitters of being a new pilot. Landing, shoot, gotta do that to put a new battery and streamer on. They'll fall right in line and the setback is the flight line.
