PlasticJoe,
Thanks for the link to those planes. I fly wet combat and have long been interested in the deveopment of epower. My thoughts for combat are electric planes towing streamers. Also I would like to try a plane with the prop shrouded to reduce the chance of damage from prop strikes which are a very big contributor to carnage in wet combat.

I guess I need to get to the drawing board to come up with an electric model that would have:

1. 40-60" wing span
2. A shrouded prop
3. Be capable of towing a 30 foot streamer

Keep the information flowing, I think there are a lot of folks who are interested.
