sportflyr - go to RCG and you will find one Lancair in EP and its totally overpowered. That baby has 2,000+W ...powered by a Neu motor too. Mad bugger ... running on only a 13 or 14" prop. Not heard that she has crashed yet.
EP is the way to go ... planes last longer but lesser flight duration and the kids' college fund will also be low! Hehehehe ...
Still, the price you pay per hour flight on batteries might be as much as 10-20 or lot more times higher
than on methanol, isn't it, those batteries do not last more than 20-30 times and cost about at least
200-300 if not over 500 USD per pack. I will stick to the mathanol+castor till the batteries get about
10 times cheaper ... that is maybe after 3-5 years ...
