RE: First CL plane in 30 years and it's electric
I've seen some of the Saropolis stuff, that's where I got the original idea.
Over 10 years ago I designed a CL timer for a friend of mine who was doing electric CL. He was using NiCd's and an Astro motor. Flew, but not that good. I used a small Philips 8051 variant - pretty easy stuff.
