Dont get me wrong, electric has its place, but those of us doing the conversions either have planes, or want planes that are electric. We just want them to squirt fuel instead.
+ 1 on that.
I fly a few electrics but once I went glow I was hooked and all my new, bigger models will be glow. I do have an electric stick that I was never happy with the motor/battery combination. Rather then buy a new electric motor and a bunch of new large batteries I can just buy a glow motor, gas tank, and 1 Rx battery for about 1/2 the price.
I also Have another electric plane I'm eyeing up for conversion. It is the best version I have seen of this plane but unfortunatly only comes as electric. As soon as I can scrap up some more cash I will dive head first into the conversion.
