Spacemonkey,
Electric works the exact same way as nitro or gas, Just substitute the combustion engine for a
electronic speed controller and an electric motor. the motor plugs into the ESC and the ESC is connected
to the throttle channel of your RX. so you would need a transmitter, reciever, and crystals.

Difference. while larger electric planes use a seperate reciever pack for the servos, smaller electrics use the
motor battery for servo power, this is called BEC (battery elimination circuitry) this is possible by regulating
esc output to the RX at 6 volts.
