Dear John Farley,. .. .I have been flying electric powered gliders for quite a while now. If you are interested in flying electric as well, I believe it's a good idea to check out some Internet Pages like <a href="http://www.graupner.de" target="_blank">www.graupner.de</a> or <a href="http://www.robbe.de" target="_blank">www.robbe.de</a> These are sites of a few German manufacturers, which offer a wide range of products. There are many more and some are totally specialised in electric flying, offering even so called brushless-motors. Sometimes it's worth while spending some hours on the net to gather information. But I can assure you, flying RC is great. . .. .Unfortunately the last 3 years I couldn't fly RC, because I was travelling here and I can tell you, I miss that a lot. Also the social aspect, normally I used to fly with my friends and we always had great fun together. It sometimes amazed me, because there I could see, that people from all age (16 - 70) have a common interest and totally enthusiastic about their hobby. And I belive that is fantastic.. .. .By the way... Are there some RC pilots out there who live like me in Kuala Lumpur? On my last trip back home I brought my controller along and I am keen on buying and assembling a model. That would be perfect day for me: to fly in the morning a Real One and then in the afternoon a model among friends. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />
