I did the maiden flight of my buddies H9 150 P51D with a Power 160 on a 12S setup. It flew great and sounded good to until another gas plane took off

The setup was perfect and it flew fast and was easy to handle. I still think I would go with a gas motor setup in anything that large. I love electrics and have three 60 sized, two 90 sized and one 120 size conversion planes. Electrics are getting better everyday, but so are the gas motors. I think it's about even on which one is more cost effective. Another up side to the gas motors is you can have smoke
