Warm welcomes from the midwest!

The links provided by bingo field are excellent. I usually advise against having students learn with electrics, unless they plan to stick with only electrics.

Most students (and me) can't afford vast quantities of Li-Po batteries. Teaching a student that has only one or two batteries is challenging because of the large down-time between flights. Electric students just can't get as many flights in with me before sunset. The shaft on electric motors also isn't as strong as a crankshaft on a glow engine. Occasionally, a student will have a nose-over or "firm" landing in a slightly nose-down attitude and the shaft bends and needs to be replaced. I've never had a student bend a crankshaft on a glow engine.
