one piece wing would be a issue for me. but if you have a good way to transport it and protect from hangar rash go for it. For ease of tune and dependability the gas engine is the way to go IMHO. i love gas because of the ease....i take the plane/tx/gas can and flip and fly. No starter needed, no re-tune for weather, not near the issue with unsuitable fuel. no glo plug igniter to mess with, the weight penalty is usually not existant because ya carry 1/3 the fuel. I went fro a 24 oz tank to fly my ulti with a 180 glo, to a 10 oz tank to switch over with a gas 30cc. got 12 minutes out of both, the gas stil had quite a bit left in the tank after 12 minutes.....the glo was on glide mode. i see ya said cost of fuel was not a issue to ya and thats cool........but 5 bucks to fly all day vs 25 bucks a gallon for glow..... It takes alot of flyin to get a gallon thru a 30cc gas motor. even a 50 cc for that matter.
