as for electric or gas? man thats a tuff one.. for me im international so fuel is gonna be a little prob .. i cant get that stuff shipped here id have to travel to a neighbouring island to get it thats about 30 miles away by boat too..so im talking at least 150-300ECD my money to et there at least.. which is nuts.. so electric for me was the best choice..

there are car chargers.. just get extra batteries brushless motors while one is charging im flying.. each flight is 10-15 min just like on a gas model (tank size dependent)
i fly with a bud we are both noobs there are no clubs here either so every thing is elther forum taught or self taught lol

for you.. consider weather or not you can get what you need for you chosen type of flying quickly and eaisly..

both kinds of flying are good trust me i been watchin some videos and the electrics of today are WOW

however depending on what you wanna get into it could cost way more than gas.. (just depends)
the bigger and faster the more $$ and it seems to go exponentially too lol

my fave electric to date is the F-27 stryker you can find it at horizonhobby.com
its not for the biginer .. but i diddnt care had great fun with it .. fast little **** it was haha.. yeah i killed it gonna get another though hehe.
