Default Why Electric?

Can you please tell us why you want an electric plane ???

I'm a glow man myself however I have bought an electric plane for my wife as she wants to learn to fly without feeling nervous about crashing a glow powered trainer. Yes, get her a good instructor and get her on a buddy box then glow is the way to go but lets see if you have better success with convincing her. In my opinion which is shared by our club instructor, electric is fine for learning on...depending on the student's preference, they may or may not decide to get into glow. Anyway, this was not what Flyer29er was asking.

One more rant, Ghostbear,

"You find THEY are as anti-Slimer (glow) as RCU is anti-electric. "

good move! You may have been successful in chasing someone from RCU and may have started / continued /whatever a glow v electric rant. Haven't you noticed that there is a really good electric forum here on RCU?

Sorry Flyer29er, I have no experience with the MegaStealth so I cannot answer your question. My only advice, get yourself your AMA card and go along to your local club. You will receive some good (and bad) advice from the club members. Also check the electric forum on RCU...they have helped me when I was asking about electric planes. Not all of us glow heads are, quote "anti-electric". To find a club near you then go to the AMA site

AMA New York (District II)

Good Luck
