[NSRCA-discussion] Electric vs. Glow

[Keith Hoard]

.
.
The obvious solution is to make a hybrid airplane.
.
.
.
Take a YS 1.60 DZ, hook it up to a generator which charges the LiPo's, which
powers the electric motor which turns the propellor.
.
.
.
Geeze, you guys really need to think outside the box sometimes. . . .
