Well, I got an electric park flyer airplane for Christmas - looks like a good one. This means I will be able to just go down to the field down the street on a whim and fly for a spell whenever the mood strikes. But I have a few things to learn about the electric stuff. These Li-Poly batteries scare me a little. They came with two pages of instructions that warn about the possibility of fire in almost every bullet point and paragraph. I really much prefer diesel engines, since they are simpler and I have an on-board generator system and can just fly and fly and fly as long as I have fuel...but there is no convenient place to fly around here. Hopefully, the park flyer will be satisfying, though I have a feeling I am going to want to buy some additional batteries so I can satisfy my duration requirements. 15 minutes a pop just isn't going to cut the mustard for me.

Stay tuned...
