Who's flying them. I just built one that runs off of an IPS drive and 2 lipos and i have only flown it once outside and it was a blast. I have just added rudder and if all works out I can fly it in the gym at school tomorrow and see how it hovers.

We have a few "Little Moe's" showing up at our indoor made from Depron and FFF, dual IPS and 2 lipos and they work great. Same idea as a PBF, but with class! The wing platform is about 24" X 24" and a flying weight of 16 ounces.

I am presently flying a 18" X 18" Coroplast, Norvel .074 powered PBF and at 17 ounces it will hover at less than 1/2 throttle.

I have always wanted to try an electric version, so I'm going to whip out a 18" X 18" from Depron, a S300 in a GWS D box and go with a 11" prop. Don't know the pitch yet, the Whattmeter will tell me that.

The dual IPS system works on the Little Moes, but I'm going with the EPS350, it's the same weight and anyhoo, I don't have a "dual".

Next Tues. is indoor, if you don't hear back from me, you will know it was a complete embarrassing falure, I have quite the hobby and taken up stamp collecting.
