MY 2 cents on e power for starting out: To get started in RC planes, glow power is easier and less costly than electric power. Glow power planes have more power which is easier in the wind unless you get into very expensive e motors with big battery packs. A normal days training consists of six ten minute flights. After that the transmitter and receiver batterys start to get low fairly fast. To get ready to go up again with glow fuel planes, you just refuel. With electric you have to replace the battery pack in the plane in between flights. To get 6 flights in, you will need 6 charged battery packs. Then at the end of the day you will have 6 battery packs to recharge as well as your transmitter batterys. Other method is to have a fast charger at the field and have 3 batterys and be recharging 1 pack while the pack that just came off the charger is cooling. See why its a bit more complicated than glow?? [8D]
