Easytiger AKA Curtis Mattikow, you wouldn't be taming down now because of your RCJI gig?, come on did you take a chill pill all of a sudden. It's a welcome change after the bun frying you used to give me years ago. "...Why bother hauling batteries..."

Who, me? No, I'm just as obnoxious as ever! Even in RCJI!

I don't remember the bun frying, but then again, the list of people I have pissed off is so long, it's hard to keep track! I no longer go out without bodyguards anymore...
Usually, though...I am RIGHT! Not always, but usually!
JPO hates me now, but I see my words from a few weeks back seem to have hit home, and they seem to be making some very positive changes...
I was never a huge EDF fan. I LIKE engines over electric motors. But I like to keep in touch with what is new, what has potential. I was flying the first Kyosho T-33 in the country, I guess that was some ten years ago? It was a real pioneering model. But I kind of got out of EDF a few models after that, until the recent lipo-brushless revolution. Things really CHANGED. Really, really changed. I have some high-powered mid-sized EDF models I am doing for review now, but what really has me interested is the 120mm thing...the idea of pretty much a drop-in plug-and-play solution to converting a lot of 91 sized models. I am trying to line up the right stuff for a series of articles about that, any input is welcome. I am NOT an EDF expert, there are guys like you and CT and many others who have been at it for much longer, but that's really sort of okay, in that what I am talking about is a conversion system for non-experts...just what Bob V. is talking about.
