I'm not against electrics either. THey have their place in the sub .60 market. I love the fact I can toss my foamie in the seat behind me and go flying just about any time I want.

That being said, I've priced electrics for my large scale stuff. I DON'T buy (or mostly avoid) cheap stuff cause you get what you buy. For my Stuka I was looking at nearly $2000 to get electrics into the bird and that gave me about 7 minutes of flight time if I baby sat the throttle. The 20oz tank I am putting in it will give me at least 30-40 minutes of air time if I want it.


PS: I've seen PLENTY of dead stick landings with my foamies...


Oh and one thing that electrics will never beat... the sound. The sound of the Zenoah GT80 twin is something electrics can never match. I don't want a buzz, I want a roar. Electrics just cannot do that.
