Yes getting started in electrics is intimidating. I have 3 electrics now and several glow models. I find myself flying the electrics and dusting the glow airplanes. Electrics are just so much easier to care for and operate. The electric planes stay in a NEW condition as long as you don't crash. No wear and tear and never dirty. I am no electrician either but I am a great imatator of others and haven't had any problems getting great performance. Now that the larger scales are getting cheaper to equip I just can't see myself mounting another glow engine on an airplane.
