Don't bother listening to the doom sayers, go out and get a nice DA 50 or a DLE 55 and rip up the sky!! I see no problems with your thinking at all. All your going to hear is that dreaded {{go out and get an instructor crap}} any good foamie pilot should be able to handle a gasser in the 50 class. There is hardly any difference in flight, just a few set up things you will maybe need to know.
Have fun with it!!
