My Posts This: Topic Forum | I've just about finished building my 620SE. I hesitated quite some time before stepping into EP (I've 15 years of NP, currently with Hawk SE).
However, I'm not that sure that flying EP is "less" hassle then NP.
With NP, once you're nicely set up (well equiped field box with all you need nicely available), I don't really find there's much hassle, I mean you just fuel up, start, and fly.
With EP there's all this charging/balancing stuff (before and after flying), pluging/unpluging the LiPos (i.e. canopy on/off). I don't think this seems simpler than NP.
Of course, theoretically, the low noise of EP makes it possible to fly in more places, but in practice, many of these places are no goog anyway because people are walking their dogs, kids are playing around, bikers come by, grass is too long, trees all over the place, electric wires, ...
In the end, I don't think I'll fly my 620SE anywhere else than at the field (which luckily is only 10 minutes drive away from home or work).
However, hope to have the 620SE flying this week end and maybe I'll change mind. |
