I saw one of hese for electric at a hobby store recently. I can't speak for the version, but I did have the original version from Aitech designed by Jeff Troy for a 40-60 size nitro engine. That plane flew well, and was hardy enough to bounce off the ground a few tiimes and keep going. The wing attachment was cumbersome, and the nose strut was far too weak. It was a 70 inch wingspanand very heavy. But with all that wing and the lift from the fuse, it floated in very nicely nose high and slow.

The electric version I saw was much smaller, but it caused a stir when I saw it. It looked very nice on the finish. I noticed it evan came with a brushless motor. It might be a little less stable than the original. However, at half the scale and one fourth the weight, it should handle nicely. Plus, for a beginner, it looks really cool.

The only problem I have with the new one is that 2100 mah battery is going to get expensive if you want to buy enough to keep flying through the day.

I wonder if it would take a .25 size nitro engine?
