I've got a bunch of old school electric planes, last flown 15-20 years ago. When I last few them, it was using the old heavy Nicad or NiMH battery packs. Planned on getting modern radio gear and modern batteries and flying them again, but never got around to it. I bet they fly a lot better and a lot longer on new Lithium poly batteries.
I'm planning to move out of colorado in the next couple months, so I should probably find someone who can take these off my hands.
I've got a balsa and monokote Great Planes PT-E with upgraded (but still brushed) motor and wing rebuilt with ailerons and steerable nose gear (original kit only had rudder/elevator control).
And a balsa and monokote Electra powered glider (about 6 foot wingspan), and a couple of foam planes. I've got a few unbuilt kits as well, a cool foamy twin engine Multiplex Twinstar, and a high performance slope soaring kit.
My radio gear is probably obsolete (and i'd bet the batteries are shot after sitting discharged this long), old Airtronics setup, and a computerized Multiplex transmitter.
