Once again I disagree, novelty issue didn win J.Shlman the Nats , now dont get me wrong,I wouldn change my dingo for any electric but it certainly has its place in modern pattern flying , i've watched a local pattern flyer switch and he is as good as he ever was with electric after only 3 mnths VS twenty years on glow , but to me subconscously it takes the seriousness of a patern plane away, its like it makes it more of a toy plane or something!! In reality it boils down to horses for courses,some people will adapt some wont,like some people moved to 4-stroke and some still fly 2-stroke.But at the end of the day its a welcome addition to the arsenal of a serious pattern flier,which can only be a good thing
