I fly my electric models (many of them RTFs) here around the house, or down the road a piece in a state park. I don't think I'm going to larger electric models until the battery prices drop considerably. Which, I doubt will be all that long.

I'm not an either/or type of person, but it took me many years to get this way. I can fly giant scale powered by large gas engines one day and RTF electric models the next day. I do not need to focus on any one type. I like variety.

I agree that the 2.4 GHz SS radios have been a very important milestone in our hobby. It is nice not having to worry about being shot down, or shooting down someone else inadvertently. Now, if we could just make the clubs forget about forcing us to use the frequency pin board for those of us on SS...
