Default electric or gas.

Hi, since i was young i always wanted to have on of these radio controlled airplanes...

now i am older and i'd like to have one but i am wandering what is better? gas or electric....

I am not rich... if i could by a use one or build mine slowly... step by step, it would be better for my wallet this way. and anyhow it's winter here... i live in quebec.

One thing i would like is maybe install floats on or skis, and i have a preference for tail wheels.

i tought that the electric could be a pain in the butt for always charging batteries... but i dont know if most of the people carry multiple battery for instant replacement and they go again.

like i said, i dont have a big budget, but would not mind to spend a bit every two monts to build up a plane. I only seen for real the gas ones and they were great! I saw a few electric planes on videos on the net and it doesnt sound good :P

if you have any suggestion or ideas you are more than welcome to write back to this post.

Thank you very much
