I have decided that in order to make the electric aspect of this hobby work for me, I will have to buy the best of motors, batteries, and chargers (brushless,lipo). I don't expect glow performance out of electrics, but I want at least a little performance!
LoL, I would certainly hope you wouldn't expect glow performance, as you would be setting the bar too low. Electrics are far superior in any category, save maybe cost.
One thing I haven't read yet is that without any input other than full throttle, they can climb to stall quickly. Most of my smaller planes fly at half throttle.
