Default RE: need help ordering first electric plane

Hobby Lobby has a sale on the Nibby Ueberall outrunners.
I have the Alfa FW-190 and installed a Nibby 1210/103. With a Jeti advance Lipoly safe ESC it's U$133.
For power I use the Kokam 3s 1500mah Lipoly. If you pricematch to Tower each set is U$35.

With the 1210 you get awesome performance with a 8x6 electric prop. At 8 amps you can fly full throttle for 12 minutes. 20 minutes if you fly scale. You can go up to a 9x6 and draw right around 11 amps but it's not for the inexperienced.

Or....
A PJS 3D 550E with 3s Lipolys and a 10x5 prop at 9 amps will work good too.
