Default RE: Extreme Flight 110

I'm just trying to figure out if it'd be worth it to me to go electric on a plane that size. I know that you can set-up 40-sized planes for next to nothing with HobbyCity electric equipment. I've always liked the idea of a HUGE electric plane....but I like the ability to fly back-to-back flights without having $4000 in batteries just to fly 4 times in a day. For that price, I'll buy a whole new airplane and fly both of them 4 times a day.

Also, DLE is nearly a name-brand engine nowadays. People trust DLE as much s DA in some areas. In fact, there's a lot of proof out there that the DLE's out-perform DA's by a slight margin. Turnigy products have mixed reviews and are commonly accepted to be acceptably sub-par because of the fantastic price.
