Well I do find it shocking that we will have that many electrics. It is nice because with the current battery technology they produce great power at a good price... and they don't generate any resistance at any fields for obvious reasons. Even a lot of the retract systems for the larger planes are going electric instead of pneumatic.

Really excited to try Hobbyking's new nanotech a-spec competition series lipos. Just waiting for hobbyking to stock the 6S 6000s.
