Back when I re-entered the hobby I went back to helis. I spent a LOT of time on the Heli Freak website. One of the guys had two helies of the same model, one electric, one glow power. He kept good records of each.. According to his records, at the end of the day (life of the models) the cost of glow vs electric was almost a wash. Now that has been several years ago so it may no longer hold true.
