Has anyone tried electric CL flying? I have been flying RC for years but have always loved CL as well. I flew a lot of CL combat in the 80's. I have recently been flying some fanfold foamy RC planes made from Blu-Core foam insulation. They are great flying planes and have fantastic power to weight ratio with the GWS 350 electric gearbox. I had the idea to make one a controlliner. My only concern was controlling the motor run. Since I wouldn't have a throttle, how can I land without running the batteries completely dead and how can I shut it down fast if I happen to plant it in the dirt. Any ideas or experience in this area would be appreciated. I have already considered using a radio just to control the throttle.
