Default RE: I need info on MIG 25 Foxbat?

Hi Tim, I agree the battery cost is the factor that puts many off at present... On the flip side some people are looking for a turbine alternative for other reasons because noise or fire hazard restrictions. Living in Australia as we both do its all to familier living with fire restrictions etc. My local club here in Sydney is slap bang in the centre of Kurringi National Park so that alone stops the turbine option due to the bushfire risk. D/F's well yes they are a cheaper option again but of course you really need to know your stuff with two stroke engine and pipe tuning to get the most performance wise.... Give it another year or so and I reckon EDF battery prices should start dropping to more acceptable levels for many of the fence sitters, myself included


Cheers- Marty
