Old Flyer Returned - Victoria BC Canada
Hi all, I used to fly gas planes in the 1970's and 1980's when equipment was limited and choices were fewer than they are today. I am now getting back into flying after being retired. My interest is in the direction of electric flight. I have some friends who fly electric and they get me interested. I look forward to catching up on all that is new and hopefully pick your brains about what is good and not so good.

Welcome!!
Glad to hear you're joining the hobby once again. I love electric flying, we've just been restoring a SebArt Sukhoi (51" electric) that got damaged in a moving truck. I started electric myself, it's a very easy "plug and play" way to go about flying. Hobby King has a nice selection of electric aircraft both scale and 3D as well as some nice gear that I use and trust, so if you're looking for an inexpensive and simple route, that may just be the place for you. |

Welcome,
There is a ton of electric stuff out there. You have a whole price range to choice from. They ranger from hobby king to some of the bigger quality names such as 3d hobby shop and extreme flight for airframes. Horizon and Tower hobbies also have a ton of electric stuff. |

May I quote on topflight36 - if you're up for the price, 3DHS is the best in my opinion. The mini-slicks are marvelous aircraft and the quality of all their products are top notch. Highly recommended. Plus their customer service is off the charts awesome.

I have talked to several guys that have the little edge and they say that one is crazy as well. The best part is its only $109. I have been wanting a small balsa electric and I think that I may have to purchase my first 3dhs bird lol.
