electric combat Hogs

Post by jj »

Saw some ads in Model aviation about an electric combat plane E-Hogs
at Electric-Combat.com

How much interest is building for these?

I was oging to build up an E-Gnat but if there is a new class that might catch on in popularity I've be up for that. ???

Several pilots are experimenting with different electric models based on a 1000mah max battery source. That should keep it flyable in a mild wind and be able to fly in a smaller box with less damage in a mid-air.

Bring those planes in closer where I can see them.

Just scratch built a couple Hogs out of 4 mm coro...haven't tried streamers yet...only full contact. They can handle the punishment very well and are extremely cheap to build. 24oz AUW with 1300 3s 1100kv 9"-10" props. We'll have more flying this spring I'm sure.... 8)

Two years ago my electric only club members loved streamer combat in the gym during the winter. They wanted to fly Zagi full contact combat at the field but lost interest almost as fast as I did.
