My year started well in advance - I got an e-flight column in EFI!
Naturally, the aim is sports flying (My kinda guy! km).  No soarers, no welders, no flopping around on inadequate power.  The aim is to get accomplished modellers out flying quiet power aircraft that can taxy out on their own wheels, take  off, fly with authority and taxy off after landing. We'll make an exception for Speed 400 which is too much fun to ignore.  It'll be a showcase for the likes of the middle range models that get left out of KRC reports as the big guys get the press.
What the new column needs is input from the guys who have got sports models to work (otherwise you get my version :-).  If any of you folks can help out with photos of successful sports electrics (like Tigershark, for one) I'd love to hear from you.
EFI runs on glossy paper prints and cannot handle electronic shots yet.  My snail trail address is:
