Electric is fine. I thought you were leaning toward glow because the Corsair is glow. Expect to pay about $100 more for a comparable electric powered trainer over a glow powered trainer. Example:Tower Hobby sells the Hobbico Nexstar electric RTF (68.5"wingspan) for $499.98 and the glow powered version RTF (68.75" wingspan) for $399.99. The extra battery needed for an electric (you will want at least two for back to back flights) is about a trade off in cost for no glow fuel or pump equipment, so just a little more going in for an electric plane. Your choice, good luck. BTY, the Nexstar, either one, is a good looking, big, easy to see in the air model. Some Nexstar packages come with a simulator for your PC too. Check them out.
