  • fhhuber, Thank you for the information and the quick reply. I like the idea of a larger B-25 with electric power. I presumed the 60 rating would be near .61cc equivalent and I will do better research with respect to kv ratings. The price was definitely good on these, however. Best, LB

    • 0.61 ci, not 60 cc.

      60 cc would be appx 3.60 ci.
      You could just about (not quite enough for a 100 lb person... ) fly an ultralight on a pair of 60 cc equiv electric power systems, which would be appx 8 hp to 10 hp each.
      FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

      • I flew the P38, and my son flew his plane today. Unfortunately we both ran into problems, but also in the same breath we were fortunate to have simple repairs needed. Mine was due to an immediate 180° wind shift and my plane came in way hotter than I expected. As the plane went past I felt the wind shift and knew what was happening only it was too late and the plane was already landed. Just rolled so fast and so far the left gear couldn't hack it, and out came the mount. Anyway, all is well for how things went.

                          Man that thing is so awesome! I crashed my 1st one on it's 6th flight! Loved it so much I replaced it the same day. Then they discontinued it. Here's a vid..

                                    Man I loved those E-flite P-38s...Flew beautifully. Very fragile but I loved those models. I had 3 of them. Wish they made the same model in a larger size.​​​​​​​

                                    • Yes yes yes! I had 3 as well, I just loved how smooth they were. I had a camera on mine, as it was really good at carrying it.

                                      • Nice, I don't think I ever had a cam on mine. It was years ago...I will have to check the ol' archives. This is what happens when you fly lose sight of one over your head and straight into a light pole.

                                        Light Pole 1. E-flite P-38 0.
