Uh oh!

I will never go E-Power. Just like I will never take TKD. Just like I will never own a poodle. Just like I will never watch "Tyra". Just like I will never go Vegetarian or Veggan. Just like I will never vote for....that is enough I think.

ELectrics are amazing, just wath mark F or Troy's planes. AWESOME performance, and great guys to boot but most of the fun for me is tuning my engine and tinkering with it...

Give me glow or give me death! LOL

To flip a switch and go is just to boring. Yeah, they go fast but:

Nothing to look at.[sm=thumbs_down.gif]
Nothing vibrate's.[sm=thumbs_down.gif]
Nothing get's hot.[sm=thumbs_down.gif]
Nothing to tune.[sm=thumbs_down.gif]
Nothing to tighten.[sm=thumbs_down.gif]
Nothing smells good.[sm=thumbs_down.gif]
My ear's don't hurt.[sm=teeth_smile.gif]
Nobody fear's me in the pit's.
My clothes smell just like they did when I left home. (clean)[X(]
Plus what Razor said.
Plus what K-MOT said.
Long live the 2 stroke!

I like to say, "lets freighten the children" before firing up

Electric doesn't do that...

Not yet anyway.

Ok here is the thing, if you guys don't all go out and buy electric set ups the price will never come down to a price where I'm willing to buy.

Also why you guys are all out buying electric setups for your planes, could you also go out and buy "blue ray" dvd players as I would like to get one of those at a cheap price too.

Hey Razor, I think the World has gone mad because I fired up a tune piped 6.5 last weekend and annoyed everyone in the pits. They were shocked I knew what a needle valve was. I did smell a bit nasty and my hands were greasy the rest of the day. But it was fun to make some noise.

I agree with you guys. That's why I still fly with my Kraft 3 channel radio. I don't know why these people get all excited having control of their airplane for the whole flight. Where's the excitement in that? Plus, I don't think they can go fast enough (except for a few cases like this one:

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/attac...mentid=1500685

Or this one:
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showa...hmentid=854072

Or this one:
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=707265

Well, I guess they can go fast, but why would I just want to be able to plug the battery in, taxi out and go fly at over 200mph?

Oh yea, and why would you bolt the wing on your airplane when we have rubber bands?.........Crazy Kids!

Speed Junkie,

I have that radio too, and it's definitely a "head-turner" but it just doesn't feel right in my hands like the Kraft.

Oh yea, I was having a lot of headaches lately so the doc ordered an X-ray. He didn't "find anything"

Jetdryvr, that plane looks real nice without an ugly cylinder head and muffler sticking out.

Is that a standard Q40 with an electric set up?

Kmot, radar your vacuum cleaner and post the video
Dude, that is the sweetest radio I've seen. I am even embarassed to have posted a pic of my Kraft. Nice!!

Jeff,
You just lit the fuse and threw that bomb into the room eh?

The picture above is a QM40 sized plane but the fuse was designed/built by us to be "cleaner" (tail-wheel in the rudder etc) and get more Mojo in there. It's a somewhat fat fuse. The Vendetta in one of the videos above was a direct conversion but was a bunch of work to cram all of the batteries in there in addition to the radio gear etc.

I flew my electric pylon ship at the local field on Sunday with a one-bladed prop. It was the loudest thing flying that day... much louder than the tune piped Shrikes and other glo stuff. They said I was definitely violating the 98 dB limit. I guess it won't be my Sunday flyer after all. It sounded more like a pulse-jet than a glo or electric motor. The one-bladed props make a heck of a racket. You'd think with one less blade you would make less noise. You guys would have been proud.

Pay attention doubters, I'm going to speak from the gospel.

This is your brain on electric!
