Robert Edmonds is a member of Narhams as well as Novaar, He sport flys with us attending most all of our monthly sport launches. He has flown one of his Ecee thunders on an E9 with much the same result as KermieD's. May not have been a slight hangup on the rod, it may just be E9's just don't have enought Umph to get all that balsa moving
I also have one in the box but won't be building it anytime soon, as storage and transport is truely a major concern.
I'm please as punch with all my Ecee 13 and 18's they are a blast, Swingwing is SOOOO right about building in a turn, I've lost 4 - Ecee-18's and 2- Ecee 13's to thermals. One Ecee-18 thermalled away on a B6-2 Can you imagine!!! I chased the thing for a couple miles but she was last seen heading west and raising
I'm hoping these Ecee-1/8A's will stay on the field but at around 7grams LOWT we'll have to see

I've been looking at converting all Roberts 10.5mm BG and RG models for Micro-Maxx motors. He had a very cool High wing 10.5mm RG that may be just a bit to heavy around 16g but maybe it can be downscaled like the Ecee
