i do plan to stick with gas, i'm waiting for the Evo 26 GX to be available, that wont be until mid july i've been told by Horizon UK.

the electric club started on me on sunday, and i know the main chap who will try and talk me round will be there tomorrow on our club night.
it will cost be about £300 for the Evo and muffler, and 3 batteries will be more that that and i wouldn't want any less than 3, plus the motor and ESU cost

when its done it will have to be just for normal calm flying for now, managed to break my second mini showtime on monday, should be fixable. think i need to try new things on the aerofly sim more before the real thing.
