Default RE: first plane with reusable electronics?

And of course, don't forget the potential benefit of the use of your home owners insurance should you decide to recharge indoors. There are definite fire hazards with electrics that no-one seems to have mentioned in the above. This scores in the negative column.

Even if you use something like a LiPo Sack, there is still an awful lot of hazardous smoke should one go up on you. If you decide to go electric, charge outdoors and away from anything you value, preferably on concrete with the batteries inside something that is flame resistant (like, as I mentioned, the Lipo Sack).

I have electrics, but much prefer the glows, for many reasons, most of which were already mentioned.
