Those are the things I was coming up with so I guess I am on the right track.....
re: battery... Wow.. $300 for batteries.... any other options that would be worthwhile.......?
Just trying to figure the cost to fun ratio.....
of course I could use the setup in a 5lb 3D plane later and be set!

Oh...and I would prefer the outrunner, but are there any geared setups I should look at for comparison???
Thanks, thanks , thanks!
