I like everything about electric.There is no doubt about it,the up front cost of electric in a 5lb.and up plane is more than the average guy is going to spend.Add up additional battery packs and it gets to be more.I think when the prices come down you will see a lot of conversions.Some will always fly glo or gas and that's fine to.I fly a little of both.I have to admit I have had more fun with some of my electric planes than any I have ever owned!!!!
