That it's why I only have one electric plane, with glow you can fly 5 12-15 mins flights with one battery charge.
With electrics you can only fly 10-12 mins per charge, so bring a charger and sit and wait or bring several batteries($$$$)

Buying and bringing extra batteries to the field is a basic requirement for electrics. It is not something above and beyond but rather essential. And the price of Lipos has dramatically decreased. You can find 3 cell 2200 mAh lipos for $10 now.

Kurt you are 100% right, I can get 4 batteries for MY largest electric for less than $100, Buy 5 Gallons of super and a quart of oil for the gas engines
and fly for months, I love my nitro planes, but mine are slowly going bye bye
