Default Electric Anyone?

Ok, I've put it off for a long time, but now with fields shrinking, neighbors complaining, and performance improving I guess I'll put my toe into the electric arena this coming year.

The thing is...... I don't want some wussy little 2 foot Styrofoam cub that floats in a light breeze nor do I want to commit $1000 to brush less motors and 30 cells to electrify some 25 lb Pitts Special so I can have an exciting 3 minute ride.

I'll compromise on something like a Somethin' Extra as it would fly with a 0.50 or 0.60. I'll even live with a 5 minute flight time.

Is anybody else just waiting for the right electric combo to come along? Something with a little life to it?
