Just signed up, as a friend pointed me to this for some help with my new DX-8. I fly electric, both planks and helicopters. Flew gas for about 10 years, then laid off for over 20 years, got back into it with electric about a year ago, started with helicopters some 6 months ago. Still lots of fun, and with a City sponsored field nearby, much more convenient, as there are no complaints about noise at an all electric field.
