I have an STM that I stripped for a more scale looking recover in solartex and chrome Ultracote or Monokote. It's still unfinished becasue I had to move in the middle of it. First, I was looking at the Evolution 26gt but now I'm considering going electric because there are really affordable motors and ESCs coming out now. Affordable like $100 for the motor AND ESC! Batteries are getting cheap too. Probably another $200 for the batteries that will fly it scale for 15 minutes with a 15 minute recharge. This prospect is mighty tempting to me and actually cheaper that both gas and glow.
