I prefer glow. maybe because it brings back memories of my youth when I first got into this hobby.

One day I may go to electric planes but I think that will be many years away.

The reason, i am not interested in the little flat wing profile foamies, personally they dont fly realistically.
Most of the guys where I fly have given up on glow for electric, but when they fly its just not interesting to watch. See a foamy do a roll, or landing, it just doesnt look right.

When you can get a 40 sized plane, that flys with electric, and is cheaper and easier I guess I will change. I havnt seen this yet, and would imagine a motor that puts out that amount of power would still be very expensive at the moment Also how many batteries would be required to run it for say a 10 minute flight.

I bought a brand new OS46AX for 125USD
Also bought a 2250mah Lipo 62USD

How much would an electric motor be worth that could replace my OS46.
How many batteries would I need to run the electric for 10 minutes.
How many spare battery packs would I need. Normally with glow I can refuel and fly again in 10-20 minutes if i wish.

I have seen small electric jet models, they fly realistically and fast, but they do not have any gear, so must hand launch.

I enjoy taking off and landing, and often doing touch and gos.

I would imagine you guys flying 60 sized or larger planes and gassers would be even further away from converting, imagine the cost of those motors and batteries.

Just my thoughts.

Cheers.
