Default RE: *Newbie, need foamy & Extras*

Also, look at the GP Flatouts. They are pretty cool. I wanted to fly a plane in my yard instead of going to the airfield and flying my gas planes. But, do NOT use the BL-8 speed control with the rimfire. Use a speed control with more amps. I am new to the electric side so I found out the hard way about the BL-8. GP recommends it, but I and other people are finding out it does not work well with the rimfire. The rimfire wants a constant draw of 11 amps (15 amps surge) and the BL-8 can only deliver 8 amps (9amps surge). Go with the 12 amps that GP is coming out soon or with Castle creation or E-flite or Jeti. Castle creation and Jeti are pretty pricy, but E-flite seems reasonable.
