Glad you are still with us Skaggy! Following the posts, it looks like the focus is on performance of e power over glow power and value. Flyers in favour of e powered planes seem to be ignoring the fact that ythis plane is supposed to be a trainer. As such with the planes batterys you may get 5-8 minutes flight time. Say you even manage to get 10 minutes on the pack. Now do you replace the battery pack, recharge it, or pack up and go home?? If you think you just recharge it and then fly again consider that the battery will be hot after a flight and that you are not supposed to recharge a hot battery. So you let it cool, but, even a fast charger could take around 40 minutes to recharge. Does the field even have electrical outlets for a fast charger ?? Speaking as an instructor, waiting 40 minutes is a bit of a wait and instructors don't want to be standing around waiting for you to get your plane flight ready! I have timed it for interest and even with 3 spare battery packs and a fast charger the glow planes are refueled and ready to take off a lot quicker than the e powered planes. [8D]
