I have 3 of the balsa products BP12s, their 10A and two 18A brushless setups.. For $55 for the motor and esc it's a good deal, and my tiger moth 400 just about does veritcal with it. I fly every weekend up in SLC, but I'd like to fly around utah valley at times, so if you know anyone getting together, drop me a line.. Geeks and airplanes are a good mix I think. :) --Brandon > .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
