Li Poly electric vs. glow power, costs?
The shockflyer WILL fly in the wind, but all those flat foam sides will get
it knocked around. I've harriered it straight in from about 100 ft with a
good headwind. The only thing to watch out for outdoors is that it will not
take off / land from grass. Not at all. It won't roll on grass. After
repeatedly ripping off the landing gear on nice gentle approaches I only do
(very) high alpha landings on grass. No issues on pavement. It's an
investment for brushless, but the performance is great. I still have
trouble putting $180 worth of motor/battery/esc in a $40 plane though. (not
that I let it stop me)
