RE: Great Planes Matt Chapman Eagle 580 ARF

Quality of this ARF is really nice. I installed a Rimfire 80 electric motor in mine and it flies great. Plenty of power! The only thing I'm critical of is the main gear. It's fiberglass and it cracks...

RE: I have a fear of lipos..

No, the charger is the only thing that shows 12.6V. The Craftsman voltmeter shows well over 13V. The batteries are new. Two of them are Turnigy 11.1V.
(2650maH) The 3rd battery is Electrifly 11.1V...
