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

Ed not to disagree but if you think electric is comparable in cost have you looked at prices at Hobby Lobby for 60 sized eletric planes? Good brushless motors for even small electrics like a mini ultra stick or funtana (20 to 24 oz planes) run $60 to $80, a 30 amp ESC $50 , and 2100 mah lipo around $80. So a motor, ESC, and 2 Lipo packs can run almost $300. For the cost of 2 lipo's I can buy a lot of glow and the lipo's last about 2 to 3 years. I have about a dozen glow and 8 electrics but my experience is bang for the buck glow is cheaper.
