Nikolay ... yeah, EP is about the novelty factor, I am fully EP now and I am doing it because its clean and I am lazy. You are incorrect to say that the batteries are good for 30 cycles. A branded good battery is good for about 70 cycles if you pull it at MAXIMUM discharged rate. Again, 200 cycles is possible if you are hardly pushing it, I mean hardly, something we all will not be doing. On the average I say they are good for 100-125 cycles. Hence, glow is cheaper.
Hi Tianci,
Thank for the comparison. Surely for smaller planes EP is better but this "bird" is
a bit too big for the current prices of the batteries.
Hi Everybody,
Because racing Lancair is on my mind what do you say if I go on a overkill, as mentioned,
to use fiberglass all over the structure of the wings and tail, also on key points of the fuse and
"nicely" place 26cc Glow engine; what do you think will happen based on your experience,
would it fly like a pylon racer too ? In fact there were couple real size Lancair on Reno ...
so what about to try to get in Scale-racing with this one ?
Cheers,
Nikolay
