Hi Gary,
I have been flying the E-3D with the C40-12T running the 6:1 MEC box as you suggested and the performance is out of sight. I continually get the OOH"S and AHH"S every time I fly it at our local field in Dunnellon, FL. I first saw you fly yours at TOC and then again at Cape Coral 6 days later. Your research into the various power plants is greatly appreciated. Also, I tried the 2600 MAH NiMH Sanyo Cells and had them zapped. They are definitely an inprovement. Thanks again for a great design and for following up in the power department.
Jerry
PS: Watching your Funtana was a great experience to say the least. Are you still flying this combo?
