Default Electric or gas?? And what model?

GAS OR ELECTRIC...

Well others may have a differnt opinion here and will probably roast me alive for saying this, but how seriouse are you about STAYING with the hobby??? taking into acount you could destroy your new plane within the first 2 mins of flight (even less if you try ) think you would stick with it or just walk away?...

if you PLAN on staying in RC (some people just dont liek RC models) then i would go gas, imo its the only way to go if your planning on staying with the hobby...

i have 3 electric planes and love them but gas is just cream of RM modeling...

personly i find gas more easy to fly than electric, for many reasons but a few would be..

your not having a heart attack when the wind blows over 15 MPH.

bigger plane easier to see and they penertrate the sky a lot better too...

gas is slightly the more expensive (only just though lol those lectrics aint cheap, not in the UK anyways)

all my electric take off on there weels in the grass not sure about that plane but i suspect you could get it up there just dont force it ..

cut a long story short i vote gas you will never turn back,

before i started RC i hade a nice home wife and kidds, after i got hooked i gave it all up just build and RC planes pavement... go for it and enjoy it

BTW verry good choice on the type of plane I.E trainer.. we have people come on here with more money than sence with posts like...

"very first flight in RC, how do i get my 91" spifire of the ground"

needless to say we get them back the day after in the crash discussion's forum

let us know how ya get on
