<DIV>Norm: I have both the PL Products Partner and the Aeroslave
Symphony. Both are excellent designs. I've personally watched an
electric Partner fly. It's an excellent performer and I know it can be
built under the 11 lb AMA weight limit. The Symphony is a relatively new
design from Aeroslave and the first few that have been built are flying very
well according to the owners. It's a bit heavier than the Partner (at
least mine is); consequently, I'm not sure how difficult it will be to build it
at/under 11 lbs with the Lithium Polymer flight batteries installed. Most
of the current pattern designs on the market can be powered by electric motors
but weight must be taken into consideration at every step of the building
process. It's also a big advantage to have a model with a removable
canopy/hatch on top of the fuselage for easy installation and removal of the
battery pack.</DIV>
