RE: E-Flite Super Airliner
My brother and I will be getting one. The real kicker is what E-Flite wants for those TP Li-Po's in their [link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/RelatedParts.aspx?ProdID=EFL7000&Category=Completi on+Guides&SubCategory=E-flite+Super+Airliner]recommended setup[/link]. They are $84.95 EACH!!! Any other manufacturers out there that make a cheaper comaparable Lipo?
In another respect, their brushless BL400 DF outrunner motors are such a steal at $109.99 for a twin pack.
$41.99 for ESC x2 isn't really that bad either.
I truly enjoy airplanes like this one that fly true to scale, especially on landings which is my favorite aspect
of airliners. I just love seeing all that weight gently touch the earth while listening to the power generated
by all that wing area in the the tip vortices. On calm days at the approach end of a runway you can hear and sometimes feel them...it's truly aerodynamics at it's best and most prodigious.
This plane will be a heck of a lot of fun and a real show stopper at the field. I'm sure keeping the
fans spooled up just enough for a soft touch down will be the real challenging (read fun) part of flying this
model.
