Default RE: electric spad?

Korben. any plane can be made electric. the biggest downfall is the battery size. the next question is, if you plan on flying at the park, you will need to have a plane that can be flown at the park. that type of location would probably fall under the AMA's PArk flier class. most of the regular size planes cant be flown at parks. due to the pace they need and safety concerns. Park fliers have a max weight or size or power. Im no expert on park fliers. so in turn, you will probably need to stick with the 25 and smaller planes. you will need to check the rules on that. Also you will need to check to see if your regular AMA will cover you in parks that are not a sanctioned field. it would suck to hit a jogger or something and get sued over it because you really wernt supposed to have a plane there. build it light
