Oh well, if you get kicked off for suggesting it, they can kick me off for agreeing. I keep seeing nice new models out there only to find EP in the title, and find myself wondering what it'd take to get these planes to handle REAL power. (I'm really gonna get hassled for that statement! ). I have a sneaking suspicion that most EP planes are built too light (read: wimpy or cheaply) to handle the vibration but if the electric boys can have a forum for converting real planes to run electric motors, why can't we convert theirs to run on real engines? After all, as everyone knows batteries are meant for flashlights & toys.
