  wah seh why electric? The more specialised ppl used electric 4 channels but because battery drain out really quick so 4 channel electrics are quite hard to find. kyosho has an electric jet v-tail. 4 channel if i'm not wrong. Go into their website n have a look
  
  Singapore hard to find electric 4 channels ones cos' too expensive. 3 channels can easily find.

  Roughly how much is it to start the hobby? I've been to a R/C shop and seen parts which are very close to real car parts which is pretty exciting, but looks expensive too. Is Marina South the only place where there's a track?

  there's one at PA east coast and another at jurong area (not sure where). probably can find out more from the shop owners... i started with less than 1,200 controllers and cars plus some other accessories like fuel bottles, starter kits, glow plugs and stuff. should be more affordable now.

  Irwin, have you found the 4 shops yet? I am sure they have 4ch electric models there. If they don't, then reply to this mail and I will find it for you from elsewhere. Trouble with 4ch is that the batteries along with the 4 servos, the receiver, speed controller and maybe 2 electric motors will begin to get too heavy and won't last very long like 5 minutes in the air? You will be lucky if you get 7 minutes. I have seen a twin electric plane which can takeoff from tarmac. There is another 4 engine electric C130 which is also 4ch and can also takeoff from tarmac. However, it can never beat the sight and sounds of twin or 4 gas engined planes taking off from grass or tarmac. What sort of real life trainers are you flying in? Jets or props? I always wanted to be a pilot, but ended up being an armchair pilot. SIA didn't like my face. Didn't last the number of interviews required. They thought I wasn't clever enough. Never mind.
