I tried those small electrics. I found them too touchy.
Big airplanes react slower. And I can see them better.
I have a 62" Lazy Ace that I converted to electric. It flies nice and easy.The duration is not so good as I can't cram enough cells in it.
With the Extra I have bit off more than I can chew.
What kind of batteries are you using? The Lazy Ace ought to hold a pile of LiPos or A123s.
CR
As I said I use A123's. The Lazy Ace could carry them but I can't cram more than 8 in there. I would like to put 16 in but there just isn't room.
BTW I flew the Extra. At 37 oz/sq ft I thought I would have trouble landing it. Not so. I am removing the flaps I installed.
