Thanks all for the replies!! I have decided to go electric for my plane though. I honestly had given it alot of thought, and ruled the pros and cons against what I thought I wanted, and electric came out on top. I do love nitro engines, and that's all I would want in my trucks, even though they do limit the driving I can do around home. I enjoy tinkering with those little engines, but I also look forward to getting into electric. My son turns five in September, and I'm going to be looking at getting him a hobby grade truck (nothing crazy) so I will need to get a charger for that, and the cost of a motor/esc is going to cost me less through HobbyKing, than getting an OS engine will cost me from my LHS. A gallon of nitro here is about $40, and I know with my truck I burn through about 2 gallons a summer, though it will be less with the plane, batteries in the long run will be cheaper. I will also be able to fly places I normally wouldn't be able to due to the noise of a nitro. I will keep you updated with the motor/esc/battery combos I get.
