Default RE: Electric vs Glow & Gasoline power and the R/C press?

My club is like that too, mostly glow/gas. I don't know of anyone who does just electric in my club but a lot of us have our small electrics to fly. I have a little electric chopper and people have park flyers. I think a big part of it is that electric is so expensive on the larger scale. Once you buy a big motor, ESC and a couple of batteries, your in the range of a gas engine. Once the prices go down, we'll probably see more people doing bigger electrics. The magazines always want to be ontop of the next big thing which probably will be electric. I think that the industry is probably motivating some of it behind the scenes.
