Airplanes are supposed to make noise! I have a couple of park flyer electrics in my fleet, and they are enjoyable, but I find myself constantly worried about power consumption. Takes a lot of the fun out of it for me. It is just too easy to land, fuel up, and go again (immediately!) with a gas or glow plane. Then there are those expensive batteries. Last year I went through $150.00 in worn out, just don't have it anymore batteries. I have never lost an ENGINE in thirty years of flying gas and glow engines!! Besides, like I said, AIRPLANES ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE NOISE!

I am sure it will come some day, but can you imagine 'TOP FUEL ELECTRIC DRAGSTERS"?? Blah....

As far as nitro versus gasoline, it was a number of years ago that I noticed how much my .60 to .90 glow planes cost to fly. Gasoline is hard to beat!!
