<p class=MsoNormal>That is a very good point. I can only focus for so many
flights during a practice session. Unfortunately with the shorter E flight
times I still have to get in almost twice as many flights as I normally would
with glow to get through the sequence the same number of times. I can get
through the sequence twice with a little time left over flying glow, with my
electric set up I can get through once plus a couple of extra maneuvers. So air
time will be similar doing 5 glow flights or 10 electric flights. For those
flights I need to show up with charged packs then get at least a
couple of them back on the charger once they are used. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>The great thing about the pattern group we have growing in
our area is that we get a great rotation going so it never feels like I am just
flying back to back to back. When my turn to fly comes up I am excited about it
and have had enough time to think about what I did poorly the last flight. I
take off focused with two to three experienced pattern pilots watching to
critique my performance.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>That is kind of the plan. I plan to have 5 packs and two
charger set ups. If I show up at the field with 5 charged packs and two full
charger setups I might be able to get in enough practice flights to move from
the bottom to near the bottom in advanced ;o) Now all I have to do is find a
way to work only 4 hours a day so I can fly every afternoon! Not bloody likely.<o:p></o:p></p>

Anthony,<br>
<br>
If you plan on using 3 or 4 flight packs, one Honda 1000 and
Iota 55A is all you need. I take 4 flight packs to the field and only charge
one flight pack at a time. I usually don't fly more than 6 flights in
a session anyway. So I only charge 2 packs at the field most of the time
with 4 sets of batteries. Now with the price of Rhinos and Zippys as they are,
you could even go with 6 flight packs and not need a generator at all<g>.
You definitely need a minimum of two charger setups though.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>I was looking at the 75A model with the built in battery
charger but was not sure if the Generator would put out enough juice? I am
having the internal debate between the Honda I-2000 and Iota 75A or the Honda
I1000 and Iota 55A. It is nice to have the excess capacity and the whole use it
at home thing if the lights go out, but the reality is I will rarely use it at
home and rarely charge more than two packs at a time. My tendency is to travel
light and try to keep the expense down a bit. It's hard when the upgrades are
only a little bit more expensive and a little heavier.<o:p></o:p></p>

What are you going to use at home? The 110V is cleaner and
regulated--there's a better explaination--just don't know it off the top of my
head. Go a few more bucks and get the 75 and you can run 3 Cell pros
full blast--and a fan....<br>
