Default RE: Derating Thrust at High Alt.

I'm too much of a gearhead too ever switch to electrics. I love internal combustion engines--especially 2-strokes. Gassers are even better. I've given up on glow over 1.00 size. Just too much mess and the fuel costs eat my wallet up too bad.

I'm looking at one of those little electric foamies--$150 investment. Something to fly around in the backyard, and practise my 3D.

I was tempted to convert the OMP Boxer Bipe too electric--but it was gonna cost me $500 for the power setup---lost interest in that real quick.

I could buy more than a couple REALLY NICE sport glow engines for that price. Or I could convert 2 more of my chainsaws to Synchrospark ignition and get wrap around mufflers for them--the works.

Electric still seams a bit expensive for the larger setups--and I like my noise makers too much to give them up.
