Um...

I have 3 electrics and have spent a good deal of money on them, but I have never flown them. It seems that every time I am loading-up to go to the field, even if I INTEND to try my electrics, I just grab a glow plane and go. Prolly just force of habit.

There are some electric planes with built-up wings and fuselages, but they are built very light and quickly become 'balsa-mulch' in a crash, (battery packs are like hammers in a crash).

I like to see my big, smelly, oily, noisy, smoky plane on it's long gliding descent to the center of a long runway and taxi back. Then, cut the engine and pick it up....but that's just me.

Remember, a flat-winged foam plane does not... 'fly'; it ...'vectors thrust'. If you want to fly, (and not steer a very elaborate fan), get a plane with an airfoil whether it be electric or glow.

Enjoy!!!
