Default RE: Time to convert?

hey Joe, just some thoughts from my side:

- I found flying in pattern makes you want to fly your best plane all the time so you understand it perfectly. You'd want at least one spare plane so you have something to fly when you have some work on the other one. The other planes you can sell. That's what I did.
- you can fly perfectly well thru sports and intermediate with the Sebart 110 Wind. This will save you a lot of money compared to a 2meter ship
- I wouldn't invest anymore in glow. So forget the YS140 but do stick with your YS110. What I like about this size plane is if you stick a nice big tank in there you can fly for 16-20minutes. This gives you a lot of practice time you won't get on electric.

Like Tianci says, Zippy or Rhino are perfect batteries but don't go cheap on the motor.

Hope this helps,

Volkert
