I noticed that no one mentioned that the 1 battery pack that comes with epowered planes will last maybe 6-8 minutes and thats it for your flying unless you stop, remove the pack and recharge it. Even if it lasts 10 minutes and then you have to land. No problem but then what?? Stop and recharge and wait an hour before your battery is ready for another flight or do you buy extra battery packs. I see that a spare pack for the Super Star is $19.00 and $57.99 for the larger Magister. A normal days training at our field is considered to consist of six, 10 minute flights. Then shut it down because the transmitter packs may be getting low. So add the price of 5 extra batery packs to the system cost as well as a good charger to recharge all 6 packs after. A charger like the Triton will run around $130.00. These are basic items needed for electric flight without upgrading! Still think you want to go electric?!? Epower may seem like a more simple and less expensive way to get into flying but actually isn't unless you don't mine 1 flight and then go home. My 2 cents. [8D]
