Default RE: Remind me why do we fly glow planes, compare to electric planes,

I'm fairly new to the hobby, but one of the most attractive things I have found is the process. Fueling the plane, priming the engine, applying the starter, tuning, cleaning up after a day of flying, etc. I'm even looking forward to cleaning my engine in the winter using the anit-freeze method. The process is huge part of the hobby for me. Taking an electric plane out of my truck and simply walking to the runway doesn't seem as appealing. It would be like going to a baseball game and not getting a hot dog or a beer and only watching the 7th inning.
