I agree totally with the noise issue. When I started flying electric back in 2006 I was just about laughed off the club field since my electrics did not have any Vrooooom and everyone else was flying glow or gas. Well for some reason all of (the old ducks) are now flying electrics. It is so obvious to them now that they don't need the Vrooooom and would rather have a clean easy to set up plane. I prefer planes that are "drop and go", that is take them out of the trunk, put the battery in and fly. My largest is a 68" wing span pattern plane that I scratch built for electric power with a 6 cell 5000mah battery making about 1300 watts. Nothin like flyin your own home built...
I still have and use my RealFlight simulator. It is great to keep up my flying ( skills?? ) when I can't get to the field. I have added a lot of planes to it with expansion packs and the RealFlight Swaps web site so the choice is almost unlimited. However I have not found a B-35 yet!...I figure that if I can bulk up the F4-Phantom to double its weight and not crash it I should be able to fly most anything..
Cheers, JR
