cost per flight hour vs. glow
Like anyone else with a job cost does figure into my hobbies. I've only flown glow in the past, but this past weekend I was able to watch a few of the electrics fly an was rather impressed. I'm crious I know the initial cost of electric is higher, but is that cost recovered in the life of the batteries vs the cost of glow fuel? What is the expected life span of your battery packs? What are the advantages of going electric other than little to no noise, and no mess? I'm looking primarily at 2 different classes of electrics those that would be the equivelent of a 40-60 glow, and those that would be typicaly used in a 2 meter pattern ship.
