RE: big glow or small electic?
It depends on what you liike to do. I have owned lots of helis and nitro or electric I loved to fly them. The advantage of electric is that I could pull into the driveway do a pre flight check and be flying a t-rex or raptor e in my front yard or back anytime wind permitting.
On those less that favorable days I always found myself at the club watching the plane guys sitting around talking while I comfortably flew my 90 & 50 machines. No traffic no problems. There really is no real answer because they all fly and bring a level of enjoyment that allows you to do what you like. Personally I like flying the big machines and pushing them many times into the ground, but for my limited shcedule I spent more time with the electrics at least 3 eves or mornings a week a pack or two, and time limited me to once or twice a month to go to the field. My opinion is fly be safe and have fun.
