If they were electric planes I would have to have a ware house to store all the packs they require. I have nothing against electric. I have a couple myself. Glow is the way to go for me.

BTW, the club I am in is almost all glow powered. There is one guy that flies electric. I tend not to fly while he does because I can't hear his plane. I am on top of him before I know it. So I just sit back and watch while he is flying.
Many electric pilots use power/battery systems, in their models, that use the same batteries. This eliminates the need for multiple battery packs, one for each individual model.
