Default RE: Beginner Purchasing Help

Acarter,
Please tell me that you are referring to foamys and park flyers when you listed the advantages and
disadvantages of nitro VS electric. I fly with electric guys every week at my field
and we all fly 2 meter pattern planes. Both the nitro and electric planes weigh the same
and have the same flying characteristics in the wind, also the electrics overpower the nitro
planes while getting the same amount of flight time. I usually burn upwards of 1 1/2 gallons
of fuel per day through my OS 1.60 while the electric guys had to buy $600 batteries that will last
them 3 seasons. So every 20 days I go flying I could have bought a lipo pack.
