I love it. I'd love to see a power system like this on a large 80-100 inch warbird.

The only thing i dont like about these are that trrible sound of electric hackers. I mean you hear them big 3Ws and DAs go, but then u hear an electric motor. Its just annoying to me. Like all that work on a plane and it sounds like crap. PUT A BIG MUFFLER ON THAT

I don't know about that. The gearbox makes a unique sound which is kinda neat.

I guess so LOL...I mean Im just used to the gusy with the 40% cardens and DA150s and my 3W 75iUS...Its so different to me. I do tho like my foamie hacker powered model. If you go here it kind a sounds koolin the house while hovering:

Go to the 2nd page to and click on the movie with my electric. I think theres only one on that page and right click it and save targetas

Sounds kinda like a gasser indoors

Good Vid's. I think I hear that the most. That the sound is what is missing. I do like to hear the gassers on fly by, but there are more and more restrictions being enforced at clubs due to the noise level. Out of hand development is contributing to that. I have become accustomed to not hearing my planes, but it is strange at times to see my Funtana or Kyosho Sukhoi coming down the line and not hearing it until I get 20-30 yards out. .
