RE: Why gas instead of electric?
I flown and still fly both. I'm currently flying the heck out of my new (2nd) GWS Tiger Moth. It's a lot of fun and what I like most about it is that it's just charge and fly here at home in my front street. Now when the weekend comes and I have off from work, I love the raw power, sound and smell of glow. Taking a plane straight up for as far as you can see it is totally awesome. I've probably owned more electric planes than glow, but I'm quickly catching up with glow. In all without trying to cause a whichh is better glow vs. electric war I enjoy them both, but will probably invest much more in glow planes, engines, etc vs. electric from now on. Good luck.
