Ok so I have a real problem.
For those of you farmilar with my recent Engagement news will also know that Rhiannon launched my plane at the last major contest and I had good luck winning Open & Classic.
However I did it with the old reliable Stalker .61 LS - ( IC ) . She was watching the rest of the competition and saw one of the Electric setups flying after I pointed it out and said "Watch this..."
Her following comment was not appreciated and I now think I'm Screwed...
" Wow P.J that sounds way better than your's its so quiet and elegant in the sky - yours is noisy and dirty, You need to use that engine ! "
Great... if I don't have enough pressure on me to switch to electric I've now got her on the EL Bandwagon by default..

P.J. this is a great opportunity to explain to your Fiance that "REAL MEN" use the noisy smelly motors and that the skill obtained in using these powerplants, pays great dividends when it comes time to repair things around the house. H^^

Just go ahead and cave now PJ. It'll save everyone, especially you, a lot of grief.

Well PJ all I can say is it shows what a great find you have in that lady, she really understands class when she see it. At least in model airplane motors. ;D

As has been said, it's only the beginning. Sometimes it's even worth it.

Hey PJ,Learning to say yes dear now will make a much smoother transition to the 25th wedding anniversary.Besides,E-power can't be all that bad if Mr Werewage has an electric powerplant in one of his Thunderbolts.
-
I'm never said never from the start ( E-Power ) I just said not right now....
But now I have added pressure !
All I need is her to read the comment from PW and I'm REALLY stuffed, Id never hear the end of it..
Howard : She hasnt even smelt the Dope yet... or the PPG..

Clean. Women and clean. My friend builds race cars. In his younger days, long before he was married, he always tested a new female who looked like a potential intimate friend. His test was to say hello and offer to shake their hand by extending his recently greased paw. If they recoiled in disgust... on to the next.

I can't respond to a straight line like this. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

Well, I will have been married for 54 years in June. I started out our marriage by building planes in the living room with a ply board across my lap in my recliner. We had hard wood floors, so I did sweep up when I was done for the night. When the kids were little I would put the board on top of the refrigerator to keep them out of daddy's plane. My kids grew up thinking that all kids were stooges. But I digress.
My wife has launched many of my planes, even the ones with Fox 59's and ignition Anderson Spitfires, both without mufflers. Back in my R/C pattern days she called my maneuvers for me at contests, and helped critique my flying. I Made shure everyone new she was my "call girl". At every control line contest I have been to she always asks me if I need help just holler. She proudly proclaims to about everyone we meet that I fly control line planes.
If you happen to get one like this you must treat her like the Queen that she is. I know there are others out there that are blessed to have wives like me also. They seem to gravitate towards us modelers for some reason. God knows we need them.

" Wow P.J that sounds way better than your's its so quiet and elegant in the sky - yours is noisy and dirty, You need to use that engine ! "
So, on a totally unrelated note, does she know your first name yet? I have a friend named "Mark" who everyone calls "Hutch". His wife didn't find out his name was Mark until they were already engaged for a while.

Derek... I can't say for sure I'm pro one way or the other... but my arms are being twisted in ways that mortal men cannot fathom ! ( Russell... H^^. )
I think the dark side is calling...
But yes she knew my name first and learn't the P.J later on - I now just get " Yes ma' lord.."
;D

PJ,
Don't listen to all of these wimps and cave in to the Electric boredom.
Nip this thing in the bud and simply tell her that you like noisy and oily and smelly and She's gonna have to live with it, or you'll live the rest of your life in servitude... n1
Don't ask how I know! LL~

Truth is my friend did very well with the ladies. Quantity and quality. Also a guitar player. He attributed much of his success to that. Tho, honestly, after years of knowing him, I find his achievements a mystery. There was a terrible female backlash when my friend decided to settle down. Choosing one special woman over the others. A crazy period of female sabotage followed. Further complications ensued, when the woman he chose turned out to be mentally unbalanced. Inspired a play called, Just the Boys. Performed many times. Even anthologized.

I like the performance benifits of Electric and what that level of consistency brings to the table.
Also to think of the torque delivery....
