Gas and glow airplanes sound a lot more like real airplanes and you cant beat the smell of a DA-150 with smoke on. As far as "aiming" the gas/glow airplanes need I remind you that nobody ever won TOC with an electric. I have nothing against electrics, the technology is coming along greatly. I have watched Gary write, Quique, peter goldsmith, and jason shulman fly electrics. Some of the things they did were amazing. Put for the previous poster to say gas/glow models are "aimed" shows his ignorance. I would assume that he has probobly never flown a gas plane that was above 1/3 scale. You must "fly the snaps" the same way you do in a real plane. I own both kinds and while electrics have there place I just dont think they will outperform glow or gas without spending some SERIOUS change.
