[NSRCA-discussion] cost of electric - now engine choice

[Fred Huber]

Mine has a "SAD" (Society of Aircraft Demolishers) sticker on each side of 
the tail...

For some odd reason I haven't crunched it yet.. maybe because the RX is 
glitching and I'm not flying it again till its fixed (but the RX tested out 
to "speck" height in another electric model... wierd wierd wierd...)
