<<Trying to go inexpensive when starting in this hobby usually ends up with frustrating results and disappointing performance.>>
Truer, more profound words were NEVER spoken. As with anything worthwhile, this endeavor is not for cheapskates.
Of course, some folks simply prefer electric power. And certain electric set-ups are indeed as powerful as glow. The problem with that is, e-power that is comparable to glow costs three times as much as glow. That's why I'm sticking with glow for now; mainly because I have a pair of $250 chargers that have amazing capabilities- EXCEPT with the new battery tchnology.
I figure that, in another ten or so years, battery technology will be where it needs to be to make USABLE e-power affordable for the masses...
