I'll add one thing....

electric motors and props can do just as much bodily harm as glow...............
well, not really. With an electric you can instantly turn off the motor. With the glow engine, you would have to drop the RPM to idle and then kill the motor. Lot more complex than an electric. In that sense.

Actually, with a prop strike and glow engine, the engine typically quits. With an electric the blades just keep cutting until the battery runs out.
