Helis yeh now that would be fun... go on alex Im sure the predator could do it

no . 1 second before the prang with me holding the tx. i think i will go with elec. but which one ? about 70 inch span . could be an arf. to get started. alex

What? You seriously considering an ARF? has the world gone topsy turvy?? About time! haha, you might find it even flies straight too

I still haven't decided what I'm gonna get either.. something around the 60 - 70 inch span would be good... and yeah electric is a winner, I've gotten rid of most of my IC stuff anyway. Is anyone making arf kits of the new generation redbull air race planes? ie. the mxs-r or low profile edge 540 with winglets?

Could we please make sure that the uc looks correct as pigs dont look that nice

Electric is a winner .... your right the world has gone topsy turvy

EG Aircraft have a MXS-R fully decked out in airrace trim ... cowl, wingtips, canopy etc ... but it is 50cc class.

thats right , topsy turvy if thats whats it takes. what i need is 72 inch edge for elec, got a fat outrunner with same power on 4 cells as a os 60 4 stroke. (will steal it out of that big southerner ) someone out there must know the plane i need. to (1 can) you a daddy yet ?

to think that (moped) has poured scorn on my edges over the years ? now he wants one ? wisdom with age i guess. alex

Oh Taylor... I have always been a fan of the Edge 540, it's a beautiful plane with nice crisp lines, But you're attempts have always looked a bit more like a flying house boat than an Edge! get an ARF mate, you can't go wrong!

1 can is now a dad. mother and babe all well. alex

yea mikey, it looks good. bet its a hungry sod on elec. probably better on gas. what you think ampeater ? would like elec. as our club has new strip in gore 200 mtr from the houses . we will all be running elec . at this stage . i wonder what flight time you get on elec doing imac type flying ? i am sure someone will help us with this answer. alex

Regarding the battery, to start with are you sure you what to be racing with such a low Kv motor, I bet the Southerners is not much over 1000kv? Wouldn't you want at least about 1600kv+? But then you will drain the battery faster...

the turnigy is a c4250 - 600 kv. this has about the same power as 60 4 stroke on 4 cells. alex

About equivalent to a 1.00-1.20 glow. Will swing a 16x10 with ease, or for pylon... maybe a 14x12 if you can find one

Thats even worse than I thought... it may have a load of power but that doesn't mean it will be fast.
Is 1st gear in your peugeot fast? Thats what I thought...

Oh wait neither is 5th
