I'm a mechanical engineer BECAUSE I HATE ELECTRONS!
Pappy, I'm an ME too, but I like the simplicity. You only need to know three things.
1. Force=Mass*acceleration
2. Entropy increases
3. You can't push with a rope

They make a Power 110. This will likely be close in performance to the YS 110...Might be a smidgen lower power say 90-95% of the YS110FZ
I have looked into this too, but am still a little confused. I have seen claims in this forum that assign .110 like performance to 6-cell setups like the e-flite 60. I found a really neat calculator here
http://brantuas.com/ezcalc/dma1.asp. I am a little leary about the accuracy of it. If you enter varables that you know are in the ball park, the results seem resonable. Though I have been able to get some really screwy results.
I am considering an AXI 4130-20 w/6 or 8 cells. I will probaly get this set up with one 6-cell pack. If it performs the intermidiate well, I'll get a couple more 6 cell packs. If not, I'll go to 7 or 8. The AXI w/Castle 77A should be able to handle any of those combos.
Troy, I saw you at Riverside and noticed that you were flying nitro. (I'm Dave with the ill-fated Exceleron) In fact, there seemed to be fewer electrics than last year. I do not think electric was just a fad, and it is definatly here to stay. I am definatly going that way because it will give me better opportunities to practice.
