There are however many poorly performing electric setups. Often these are RTF "toys" that are terribly underpowered. But this isn't the fault of the electric, it is the designer/manufacture fault for putting that crappy setup on that plane.
True! Very true! What if we judged glow engine powered planes by the performance of a typical .049 powered RTF toy?
We're having our semi annual 1/2A (.049) pylon race this May,, your welcome to bring a "toy" up and see how well you can keep up!! requires a Cox .049
It wasn't my intention to dis serious 1/2 A planes. When I said RTF toy, I was talking about something like a Cox EZ-Bee. I am a small plane enthusiast myself, and my smallest plane is a TD .020 powered Pocket Rocket, which I will fly in wind that grounds some of the bigger planes.
