Hello all,

I just bought two nitromodels EP planes (EP-3D and the Ultimate bipe) to introduce me to electric flying. I've been flying strictly glow planes up to now and I'm getting tired of my glow engine's mood swings...

I need some advice on what kind of equipment to get for these two models. I included the link to the planes below.

I need advice on motors, ESCs, batteries, and servos. I also want to upgrade to a 6ch programmable radio, so if anyone knows of a good one that already comes with a micro receiver and servos and does not brake the bank, please let me know! Also, I'm also a bit confused on what all is needed to charge the batteries for such planes. I have a 12V battery that I've been using for the starter for my glow plane, so I would like to get a charger that uses that as the power source. I would also like a charger that does the job fairly quickly...none of this over-night stuff. Maybe quick charges are standard...I'm not sure, like I said, I'm clueless about EP.

Anyway, as far as the motor and battery go, could someone please let me know of some models that provide the following:
1) high performance (speed, torque, power), mediocre flight times
2) mediocre performance, long flight times

I'm leaning towards option 1, as long as the mediocre flight times are acceptable

I know I have asked for a lot here, but any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!

We talked about this some time ago so you may want to review this thread and then post any questions you may have.
