I have one larger plane with a .91 Surpass, and while it is fine, it just takes up too much room in my basement with the other 40 planes hanging on the wall. I will not buy anything that will not fit in the car or PT Cruiser, as the van is on it's last legs. I think electric may be a good choice over gas, for me. I kind of like the idea of the diesels too, but my wife is really crazy about the ether smell. They put her out with it for surgery as a kid, and the smell still bothers her today. I might try a 2200 LiPo I have just to see for the starter. I know the starter is OK with a car battery.
