Default RE: Is it worth it?

Thanks for taking the time to answer guys,

Greg, I have especially enjoyed your conversion articles of the Big edge and the ongoing P 51. I guess for my situation the money isn't an issue ( I'm a health specialist) but moreso at least one of a skills issue........ I don't think I am proficient enough for these planes. Although a big scale warbird is something I aspire to one day, I'm working my way up slowly from little white foam ones .

So taking in mind what has been said above, what has raised my curiosity is why did you, and anyone else who has converted such a large plane go electric on these models? Is it the pinnacle/cutting edge aspect that makes you do this? I can see why Hacker would showcase their products on such a grand scale, and FMA too. Heck, if I was in the industry I'd do the same, but it just seems the engine route is easier/faster to build.....if all you want to do is fly..........
