Default Begginers Electric plane

Some folks want to fly, but don't want to mess around with any kind of combustable fuel. I met a doctor who told me that his wife perfered him not to come home smelling of fuel/oil. I can understand this completely. We also have to consider the fact , that , if it gets on your hands, it will probably also be absorbed into the skin. I have no idea what this might do over a long period of time. Im a mechanic, so I could care less about a little fuel/oil in my system, but thats me. The doctor I mentioned eariler, had 3 or 4 very nice larger (not park fliers) electric planes that flew as well and fast as the glow versions, however, he also had around 15 battery packs. At 40.00 to 50.00 each, not to mention the supporting equiptment, Well, lets just say that his toys cost alot more than mine. Over a long period of time, glow fuel is not cheap eighter, but , I can afford the 15.00 a week payments. I love the smell of glow fuel in the mourning.........
