Default RE: July MA Excess Electrics??



Ehhhh....being an e-flyer myself, I'm at odds on this one. Look guys, we know that electrics are becoming more popular, but it's honestly okay to admit that electrics just aren't quite ready yet for some airplane classes. The electric market has been concentrating on Park Flyers, so there's actually been little improvement in the Large-Scale section for the last two years. We'll get there in time, but the equipment isn't completely reliable yet (still blowing the occasional ESC). You'll get the occasional pioneer who wants to make a statement, but he usually has to put in quite a bit of his own engineering and testing.

We OWN the small-plane fun-flyer market, though!

Got my magazine, and I'm looking forward to pouring through it! Frankly, I think it's a neat idea to have each AMA mag concentrate on an aspect and get some REAL coverage. They did this once with turbine power too. Perhaps in the next month or two will get some top coverage of gas Giant Scale, no?
