<p class=MsoAutoSig><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>After the Nationals this summer I switched
back from E to glow and now running the YS 160. This motor has been
really fun to run, but I have sent one back due to a dragging on the back-plate.
This was repaired and runs like a thoroughbred now. There is almost no
drip of any kind on this system until the exhaust point of the stinger (using
Hatori 821/822 combination from Central….)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoAutoSig><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoAutoSig><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I hope you have a good E-experience.
There was not a single E-component in the powertrain I used that did not outright
fail after just a few flights, fail out of the package, or have seriously
degraded performance after a short number of runs. Further, while
expecting “consistent” performance, I found more variables taking
place with the E setup than on glow. Looking back, my OS 140 setup was
more “consistent” day to day than my E-period. The E stuff is
critical on monitoring battery consumption, amps, etc… This
pertains to the equipment I used. I realized that my comfort running glow
and dealing with the full realm of potential problems is easier for me to
handle than learning an entirely new problem solving set for E, then having
duplicate equipment to deal with those potential problems.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoAutoSig><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoAutoSig><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>For me – (advice just worth what
your paying for it), the E stuff takes way more time & money to “care-and-feed”
than my glow setup, and this far out weighs any potential E-Advantage. I
do not think you get a “better flying plane” with E, you just get
to play with bigger prop diameters. If there is a point benefit to flying
E, I think that the planes are so close that if were to blink or sneeze during the
flight one would overtake the other. I think the E stuff is a
bit more one dimensional and you should anticipate your weather conditions a
bit more than with glow (… the haul-butt option always seems to be
present with the glow setup if you want it). You need to develop a ton of
insight into your E setup as to avoid ruining it quickly. I think that
for 97.5% of us pattern fliers, we are far better served just by getting more
flying time in. For me it is FAR EASIER to take a gallon of fuel out and
fly. When I get home the plane goes on the shelf until next week –
no need to sit and watch batteries charging so I can put out a potential fire.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

forward to not having to clean gunky exhaust off all the time. I really think
that flying Electric is easier. Just plug it in and take off. I'm also looking
forward to the potential savings I will see in shipping from Richards repair
shop and my house. Trust me it's been a substantial sum. Mike<br>
