I did a bit of research and found glows can be expensive to fix and needs more maintenance. So I think I may go with an electric and practice with that and move up to glows later. Also, the club joining ideal sounds great. I think I'll just do that. Thanks for all the help!
Yes, you may be right about that, but electrics are very expensive to build . . . as they need expensive speed controls, batteries, charger etc. etc. etc. But I am still building one to see for myself how an electric turns out.

Unless you get something like this, It looks nice and INCLUDES the motor.

Maybe I should have gotten this instead, but I liked the looks of the Mini Telemaster more .
