A recent issue of CLW shows a small R/C receiver in place of the usual timer. He used it for test flying, where an abort could be made at any time. That seems like a good idea. Allows in-flight motor speed adjust. Also, think of the neat take-offs and landing approaches you can do.
I don't yet fly electric in contests. So legal or no, I would like to try this.
Would I be escorted off the field, or laughed at?
