Well I have just recovered from my mistake on this subject.

I bought a "Sparky 400" electric to learn on last year.

Being an almost total begginer I wanted to get lots of stick time to get myself competent ASAP.

I very quicky got fed up with 10 minute flights and the lack of power, [] so I converted it to glow power with a little Thunder Tiger 09.

I can now fly it around for ages on one small(ish) tank full and really appreciate the extra power.
