Actually, I was before but a couple of short flights this morning on my Brodak Cardinal converted to electric really sealed the deal.  I would have flown more but after the second flight I noticed some fraying starting on the lines near the handle and I opted to wait until I put new lines on before trying again.  I have too much effort invested in this now to get hasty and risk a preventable crash.  I notice a smoothness to the flight that I don't recall with IC systems - I just need to get accustomed to the electric Weedeater sound while flying.  The goal this morning was learning how to handle the electric gear so I didn't try anything close to extreme - just some up and down and a few 'sort of' wingovers and mission was accomplished.  All the gear worked as advertised with no surprises.  Using a Cobra 2826/12 760kv motor, Keith Renecle timer (version 1, I bought it quite a while ago), Hobbywing Fun Fly ESC and APC 13 x 4.5 pusher prop (conventional, not F2B version, all the LHS could get for me).  At the moment I have two batteries, 3300 mAh 5s and I'll work with them until I get a handle on what the battery size really needs to be then I'll get more batteries.  If battery size ends up where I think it may, I'll have accomplished the conversion without adding any weight over the original IC configuration.

Many thanks to everyone who commented on my "Theoretical Power System" thread last winter and nudged me in the right direction.  A big thank you to Crist Rigotti for making his power system calculation spreadsheet available also to Bob Hunt for manufacturing those spectacular hard nose motor mounts.  And a shout out to Dennis Adamisin for giving me guidance on propellor selection.

I'll be gradually working my way into full patterns.  I've had about a three year layoff with almost no flying as we did a major house reno project every summer for the last three years and my wife had two hip replacements in that same time frame but now that I've experienced this kind of flying nothing will keep me away from the field!

Not at all!

Yea, one ride on Mike Haverly's back up plane and I was sold.
