GLOW/GAS

Advantages;
-just fuel it up and go
-cheaper when you get to a descent size
-no batteries to worry about
-generaly faster and more powerful

Disadvantages;
-dirty
-tuning of engine
-need large area
-noisy

When you think about the fact that you have to buy fuel for the glow planes, also think about the batteries, those lipoly batteries are really expensive and they don't last forever

These are just some of the things i though of, i'm sure there are more.
