  1. Thanks Timbo I know Danny well, we fly together lol. I'm desparately trying not to start my own crusade, honest. (Thank goodness for the delete key, I wrote loads just then). Why not come to a funfly and see for yourself. Many people have witnessed the 10 min charge, in the plane, and then a full 2200mAh at full power and have gone away very thoughtful.
  2. This is an OPEN INVITE to anyone who would like to fly or spectate at any of our 3 funflys this year. We have: 21/22 June "Power" Funfly 26/27 July "YT International" Funfly 16/17 August "Electric only" Funfly Entrance is free. Tx registration is £3. Plenty of camping is available, we are asking for a small donation this year. Theres Toilets, Refreshments (Burgar Bar), We have a Barbeque on Friday and Saturday evenings. Its an all round freindly, fun, fly in. Everyone welcome. We are also having more family attractions this year (yet to be finalised). Trade space is free, traders generally donate to our raffle. This year I'm trying out a live webcam of the event. So you should be able to see what's going on live. (Don't shoot me if it doesnt work!) There are already some webcam tests on our website. For any more info see Greenacres website , leave a question here or send me a mail. If you come, seek me out and make yourself known. We do our very best at "Warm Welcome"
  3. Thanks Eric. Good, bring it on. Its horses for courses in my opinion. A123s aren't a magic bullet for everything. But get me going and I seem to get into soapbox mode about all their advantages. I'm always up for an intelligent discussion. (Can't be doing with slanging matches mind you) Hope the spell checker is good though, my spelling leaves a lot to be desired It remains to be seen how often I can get on here, we'll see.
  4. Hi then First post here (clearly!) I'm a BMFA A cert pilot practicing for my B test. I fly almost exclusively electiric models now, mostly "40" size and above. Mostly using A123 cells, Of which I have over 2 years experience of their remarkable advantages over LiPos. (And the odd disadvantage). Biggest model is a Ripmax 88" DH88 on, you guessed it, brushless and A123's. It is way over powered, but I learned a while ago to use that throttle stick thingy. For my sins, I've been roped into being Social Secretary at Greenacres Model Aero Club in Walsall West Midlands. I also write their website Greenacres website . I'm currently busy drumming up support for our 3 20th aniversary funflys this year. Anyone and everyone is invited and they promise to be great events, weather permitting. Plenty of details and photos of previous events are on the website. If anyone does come, seek me out and make yourself known.  Shameless plug over, sorry
  5. Very nice, would fly nice slow long flights setup as electric..
