Electric? No, Nitro Only Zone!!

[George J]

This was this mornings scene at the field, can't even remember the last time I saw an electric flown! My poor old E700 is even further down the pecking order than a Trex 600 N!! Getting through some fuel though but it's worth it.

The only lipo that needed replacing was my rx pack as the Srimok flew that much. There was a nice smoke haze this morning at 8:00.

Looks like someone could be offering me a cheap e700 airframe then

hmmmmmmmmm , suppose i could try nitro again after killing the goblin , but the power is cra.p compared to electric ain`t it . but do now have to travel along long way to fly , so the flight times could make up for it , 3 mins with the goblin n the batts are ******* after 10 flights , and if you sending a cheapo e700 to Southampton , gives us ya 600n dude

I don't think you'd have thought the G4's were gutless today Ady but never going to be the same as a big electric obviously. Mj's Srimok's 91 was superb this morning in the cold thick air.
When did you kill your 18th Goblin Ady? Your lipos get fecked because you run them down to zero every flight you bloody head case!!

ady I think you'd find the 600 gutless IMHO, good for practising moves but push it and your working your collective hard to contain the bog. You need to go bigger lighter machines with 105/120 to get decent power. 120 at the price of vibes and tuning inconsistency, OS just break in and forget. Given you like little nippy machines I don't think the bigger would suit, mass is mass and won't change direction quick enough for you. Try George's.

Similar Dave but mine is an EBay special, about £15, fits 2 x Opti gallons though.

[hedge]

I guess it's rare I'll do more than a gallon per session but that caught my eye. On another point why ... why would you not want a nitro?

[George J]

There you go Hedge, as I said fits two gallons.............
