John,

Thank you very much for all of these info. This site is very useful and I
am surprised how many RC clubs are in San Diego area. It seems this sport
is very popular in the US :-)

Could you please explain why electric fly better than the IC one? Back in
Ireland I had a smaller electric plane (still have the motor, speed
controller, battery and charger, so I guess such transition would not be a
too big investment). However, I thought it was not as powerful as an IC
would be, or maybe I just had a too small motor?

Thanks,
Tamas
