I think Jason´s post is great. I do however feel that for me personally, there really is no alternative. Due to flying electrics for so long and only having used IC motors for a couple of years (Cox Babe Bee and an ASP .15 7 years ago), I am am sure that if I were to start flying large 110-160 sized IC motors, I would surely get in way more trouble than I can handle , whereas I know the eletric stuff inside out and how to work out quirks, etc.

So for me, the "it´s easier to maintain" and "it´s easier to set-up" would be a definate yes on both, simply because I know the stuff.

Not that it matters at all at my level Jason, but is there really no flight advantage at all with a 22" prop (downline braking?) and non-changing CG at world class level? Just curious.
