Electric in Orlando

[Joao Mantovani]

Hi everyone. I'm going to spend some time in Orlando and was wondering if I can find a shop or someone working with electric supplies around. I don't know anyone flying electric control line here in Brazil so far so I would need something like a full kit or as close to ready to use as possible. Does it exist up there? 

Appreciate the help!

Best

Guys, would like to introduce my friend Joăo Mantovani.
He's a fellow club member, and he's also chief-editor of a modified cars magazine, and Chip Foose babysitter when Foose is in Brasil.
Please, will you help him out?? So he will stop emailing me all the time?
He needs a set up for a Legacy 40....
Eflite 25?? ESC? Timer? Batteries?

Thanks guys

Marcus

I'm not from Orlando, but south west of there by a couple hours. There is a great hobby shop in Orlando, Graves R/C. They used to support control line and had the full line of Sig & Brodak C/L kits. Its a big store, and I'd bet they have all the main stay epower supplies as well.

Just hit their web page, then look in the E-Power section here on the forum for the "list your setup" thread, and compare what people are using to what Graves R/C has in stock.

Hi Joao,

First, Welcome to Stunt Hanger!  The Amped up section is a great place to get tips on what is needed for a specific installation.  Brodak and RSM both offer complete systems for certain size models.  I am barely beginning to get into Elc/CL only have one set up and it is a complete system from Brodak.

The guys offering help are all good guys so I am sure they will do what they can.

Don't be a stranger here, join right in!

I Agree, there areŽnt many people flying electric CL competitivelly. in Brazil. The only one I can think of is Rodrigo Manzano from Londrina. He has already posted in this forum. He has been to the last WC in Bulgaria as a supporter.

In our local "Stunt Hangar" (VCC on Line) there is a forum dedicated to e-C/L, there is a lot of "tropicallized" information there:

Bob, is ESPRIT only mail order or a open shop that I can visit? I'm sure I can drive down there. Thank you for posting here.

Would you guys give me an idea about how much would it cost to get all I need for that, average?

Thanks
