RE: who is sick of the electric power craze???? conspiracy?
Personally all I fly is electric. I feel that electric power is good for any 3D planes under 3 pounds (48oz) in weight and good for just regular planes under 5 pounds (80oz) in weight. Anything after that and you risk a huge amount of money for something that has less power than glow/gas, as some of you have found out.
I love electrics. The decent ones fly like their big 3D glow brothers but they cost so much less and take only a couple of hours to build instead of days. Sure they still have enough power to sever a finger completely, but they are quieter and far easier to maintain. I think that the electric change is for the better.
