Gizmo and Acarter,
These are your opinions and the post is about the Pros & the Cons, the original
post asked that we make this general not personal. I like the sound of IC motors also

the Fact is I have 30+ cycles on some of my packs and they haven't lost any MAH
when treated properly. I have a friend who competes on the national level with
electric planes F3A FAI 1.60 sized . He has over 200 cycles on a few packs and they are
showing minimal MAH and performance loss, Again they have been well maintained.

On the other hand I have an OS .61 SF that has seen it's share of flights I have over
150 on it and I got it second hand. Except for needing a set of bearings when I got it,
it has performed flawlessly when properly maintained. I have seen and heard of many
glow engines going into the trash after only a handful of flights because people don't
tune or maintain them properly.

Another pro for electric is the smaller planes can easily be flown in a scoolyard or park
and no one complains about the noise. They do make some noise but not the same sound as
a nitro or gas motor.
