[NSRCA-discussion] Beginning e pattern plane

[Bob Richards]

I'm a little leary of converting a plane designed for glow, since I think there will be some weight penalty involved. But, I am keeping an open mind. I've wondered about the Focus Sport like Dave B suggested.

Couple guys in this area are using the Venus 2 with 6S 5000s and AXI 41xx motors.  I think the motors can use an 8S setup also.  They seem to have good power for the Intermediate patterns...  I have not flown either of them, just observed.

I'm looking at getting my son a good e pattern plane. Not interested in the 2m stuff right now, kinda interested in the 90 sized stuff.
 
I have a Vanquish and Aspera, which are both good for practice, and I typically use 4S 3300-3700 packs in each. The 90 sized stuff I have seen can take two of these packs in series, so I am thinking I can save on some costs by sharing packs between the two sizes. So, anything that can use 8S 3700 would be economical for us. He will be starting out in Sportsman, but I suspect he will move up quick to intermediate once he gets started.
 
I've been looking at the Hyperion Helios, but don't know anything about it.  http://www.allerc.com/product_info.php?cPath=2_87&products_id=3356
 
Any suggestions?
