I have flown gas powered planes on and off for the past 30yrs.(mostly off) I can now see that EP is so much easier to work with. Just turn on the motor and fly. No working on the engine and that messy fuel to clean off the plane after you fly.
I was looking at the Hobbico Super Star EP online and see that it uses the same charger and 6 cell battery as my r/c car....so I placed an order for a 3ch radio and plane and I'm ready to fly for $169. and get a real plane that will fly into the wind.
This is going to be fun.
