Electrics are quiet, some REAL quiet.
Electrics are clean. No oil all over, no cleanup, no reaching around the screeming prop, driving to the flying field, or having to carry a 12-volt battery, starter, glow battery, fuel, rags, towels etc. out to the flight line.
Electrics fly like full scale airplanes, scale speed, scale manuvers, scale take-off, and the pilot flys it.
Glo motored planes jump off the ground, jerk around in the sky like a swallow chasing a gnat, and you more or less aim them, not fly them.
Like Sartori said, they are usually slower, and you do not really need an instructor to learn to fly them.
Read, study, learn about aviation, and you'll know what you are doing, and why the electric powered airplane is doing what it is doing.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Guess which kind I fly![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
