I discovered the same thing Aurora. But they won't fly without the batteries, you know. <G>
That isn't going to stop me, nor you, from what I can tell by your comments. For me, it is just something new to learn and something that will add a bit of excitement. I'm not abandoning my glow engines by any means.

I was just experimenting on the Neu website, they have a nifty set-up calculator that helps you "see" adjustments when props, motors, cells, etc.. are changed.
After a few hours I found a set up with 18 pounds of thrust, a prop speed at 223 mph and a wieght of 36.9 oz. (2.3lbs) With the batteries!! [X(] These are all Static figures, but they look pretty darn good to me !
This isn't the Neu 1912 motor I was planning to get. I chose that motor around the 12/12 props. I found that Bolly will modify a utility carbon prop for me (at an expense $) but Wow, what a difference a prop makes!
Plan on calling all the manufacturers for advice on the set up this week!
Now, what do I put it in?
