This thread is too confusing to me. I have never been involved in electric stunt. You guys know what you are talking about. I don't. In order to get more people involved , somebody need to offer "COMBOS". Everything included for a certain size plane, with instructions and maybe videos, etc. The beginners will start with these "COMBOS" and go from there. The expense of this new hobby precludes experimenting too much. A waste of money in my view.
When I decided to get back into c/l I ran into Building and Flying Control Line Models, by Dick Sarpolus. Wow, did I learn, . a lot from him. He builds several planes with detailed instructions in the book. Something like that is needed for electric stunt but not necessarily a book.
Maybe some expert can start a thread or a website where he takes us newbies into building a model from start to finish.
Thanks Fernando
