I have been working with and flying a modified viojett rotor for a couple of years now. It really hasn't cost that much and it has been great fun. It's exciting that BVM will be producing electric stuff. Quite frankly BVM priced me right out of the market. I can't shop there any more! [

] Plus I have a hard time putting a $10,000 jet in the air with a radio I fly my park flier with (JR10X). It's all hanging on the same frequency! I had to go back to scratch building and that is where all the fun began. It is a hobby again, new, and a lot like it was 15 years ago. Don't nock the electric stuff until you have tried it. Electric's will be HUGE. Club membership is down cause' of the elecric arf/park flier stuff.
I'm building my 3rd Ribbie Electric Mig-15, With permission from him, he was the inspiration for me back in 92' or so when I first saw the plane fly. I am using the same set up only GP3300 for power. And my rotor is clipped to 4 in. It's not new!!
BVM 60" Sabre for size comparison.
