go for glo! trainers get beat up so repairing is an issue. the glo plane will be overall easier to fly and care for IMHO. i do a lot of training and the alpha will do fine. most often see a .45 recomended over a 40. i really like an LA 45 for a first motor (on a budget).
its simple very reliable and fairly bulit pruff.
Eh, the Electricfly is basically a balsa Electric "glow" type trainer of .40+ size.
So there is no difference vis-a-vis repairs.
The ease of the electric plane for someone just starting out has a lot to be said for it.
