Default RE: glow v elec./ ford v chevy??

Nothing beats landing, a quick pump of fuel and your off

Compared to electric where unless you have a mass of batteries ready to go, or carry around chargers etc. you stuck with a few flights before you run out of go [:@]


Although, if all you want is a quick flight to fill 20mins then electric is perfect, as long as you plan a little ahead and have a pack of 2 on charge, i do this all the time with various electric planes. Another area where electric rules are assisted gliders, nothing like having a light weight electric system on a glider, you end up with only a couple of mins motor time but it's great when you can't get to the next thermal on the glide



Loads of people are stuck on one or the other, like classic "fanboyism", macos vs windows, bikes vs cars, big car vs small car... No different, if you look at all the points they are all pretty much equal
