I have been flying R/C for a long time. But, due to my non-interest in charging batteries over and over I have never flown electric aircraft.

But now due to the advances in technologies, there is an electric aircraft that I would like to purchase and fly it is the Vector Pro Electric Ducted Fan.

Flying this type of aircraft is no problem for me, It's the charging and electronics I have questions about.

Is it common for a motor and ESC to cost in the 700.00 range?
What knid of charger will I need? How many battery packs will I need to start with?

Is there anyone out there flying the Vector Pro?
