EDF rookie here ~ you guys are sick of seeing it, i'm sure ... well, i'm an air force brat and watched and flew real f15 sims and have been hooked for life.
got old hours with gas (even wire - anyone remember those ribbon days ?? ) but now going EDF (my son is ecstatic) ...
i'm not worried about fast craft - can fly - worried about the fear-factor batteries ! also, seems electrical engineering is another hobby to pick up quick ... looking at the RTF Starmax f/a18 Blue - COOL, fast and exciting, comes complete from Nitro (sans charger, what the ... ?). I fully expect that advertised "30 minutes out of the box" is 100% unattainable ... BUT would like to test and balance, charge right, trim and weight, etc ... no battery meltdowns or in-flight fires ! motor specs are loose, chat with Nitro was fruitless ...
ANY advice boys ? is there a blog on systems/mechanical diagnostics for EDF build-out > (i expect included manuals to be Engrish...)
thanks flyers !!
