I have been out of RC for almost 10yrs(but have been flying Microsoft FlightSims for 7yrs) and am going to purchase a Sig Rascal electric ARF. It is powered by a MAXX Speed400 and has a 20amp Speed Control.

My RC experience is fairly extensive but, as the post says...New to Electrics.

Any advice is appreciated getting me going towards the best batteries, chargers, etc. The Rascal calls for a 7 cell pack that SIG sells for about $22(and yes, I want 2!)

If I can get a bit more flight time with a bigger pack(will the plane hold it?) I'd be interested in hearing that, too!

Just looking to get a plane thats fun and easy and I don't have to buy as much degreaser as glowfuel! Sure am tired of oily planes.

Flown a lot of SIG models and even though the Rascal has no ailerons, I learned to fly on a rudder only MkI Kadet! SIG planes really fly great.

If you're a cyber flier on FlightSim2004 and like airracing, come see PROPS Racing!
