Default RE: Why gas instead of electric?

EP is really great fun ... I was having GP all this time and now its fully EP. Anything below 40 size is pretty affordable, once you go past 60 size you see the cost of batteries weighing you down. I have flown from small speed 400 planes to 90 sized planes and soon my 80" will be going up. For me its about convenience (basically, I am getting lazy). I love the response of an EP plane. Still much more fun than a GP unless you want to fly with a YS engine. I find that without the slime the planes are in a much better condition (again, I am lazy hence I am doing my best to justify EP).

Here are some pics of my EP planes, the Kyosho AgWagon is only running on a 3S set up. The CAP 232 is almost ready now, that one is a MidWest CAP 232 of 80". I hope she flies! If not I will be the laughing stock at the field.
