I recently got the bug for F3A Elecric after watching a couple of guys at our field flying the 2M aircraft. I can't afford the $2,000 to 5,000 airframes so I got a Sebart Angel 50. There are a lot of other airframes in this price range, but the Sebart Angel appealed to me. I have a completed plane for about $750 and it is a really good flying plane. Makes me look like a good pilot. I may go for a full 2M plane in the future but now I can fly the routines with a less expensive plane and not worry about crashing the several thousand dollars of a 2M.
I have and currently fly gas but elecric is the future. Good luck with your project.
