In my opinion glow is much better. It has much more power to get you out of trouble. Batteries can be a pain, it was a constant battle with my aerobird. If you fly it full throttle, which it the only way to get the best out of if, you are lucky to get 7 to 8 minutes tops out of a 5 cell battery. Then it takes about 30 to 35 minutes to recharge. I hated waiting there for the batteries to charge. I had 3 batteries too!

Plus, if you're going to do a loop in electrics it seems like you have to dive first to get air speed. I flew my new glow plane this weekend for the first time and I was amazed at the power. It wil do anything soon as you ask it to with immediate response. Don't have to doctor it to get air speed and all that.

It was awsome to land, refuel and be back up within a few minutes. No time wasted watching that red light blink on the charger.


Just my opinion. However, the aerobird did a great job teaching me the basics. It was a good plane to learn on. If you've never flown maybe you should try electrics. I had to learn on my own because of the availability of a club. If you plan on joining a club, I'd say glow is the only way to go.

Just my opinion,
