I’ve checked and there is no means of field charging in place - I’m thinking I will stick with ic! I managed to stop the sale of my Great Plane super sportster 40. The plan now is to ask the club if I can get my eye back in with the club trainer and then fly that super sportster

Just been watching some acro wot flights on YouTube Cuban8 and I have to say the sound of the IC ones got my blood going in a way that the electric ones didn't. Especially the XL with a big 4 stroke petrol engine in it

Steve - apologies, yes I meant electric. MattyB - what is better about the foam-e vs the regular ARTF one? I was erring towards the ARTF as i figured it might be a bit more repairable than a foam-e. My dream is to get a big petrol powered scale plane one day but I was thinking electric may be a bit easier in the early days

You've got me thinking Shaun - maybe I should start out with a wot 4. I'm probably very very rusty. You've also got me thinking Cuban8 - I'm attracted by the cleanliness of electric as I have memories of cleaning my plane down after every flight with IC. However, IC has the sound and the smell and the unlimited flight time. I'll have a think. I just assumed that everyone had moved over to IC now. I will rejoin my old club hopefully. I would never think of flying without support of a club and from a legit flying field.

ps the above post was meant to say "I was flying a super sportster 40"  pps I am also considering the Black Horse Speed Air - any views on whether im better off getting that or the Acro Wot?   Edited By Dubcat on 21/07/2020 13:59:51

Hi, when my twins were born I simply didn’t have time to fly. Now they are 11 I have a little more time and would love to return to flying. I was flying an IC super appeared 40 and electric was just coming in when I quit. While I love the sound of IC, it seems electric is the way to go now! Will be more convenient at least. Ive got my eye on an Acro Wot. I’ve no idea what transmitter to buy (my old jr is 35mhz). Need recommendations on something that I can keep as I progress but that won’t require me to remortgage my house. Also need recommendations for a power train for the Acro Wot - something that will give me a reasonable flight time and with enough power to last me as my skills improve. Hope you can help, Dub!
