Thanks for the debate of Glow vs Electric. I believe the old school net etiquette of "No offense intended and no offense taken".

I can see that price doesn't make or break the decision. Even if the long run cost of fuel doesn't even up the playing field, if someone is spending $500 it's not hard to spend a little more for what you want.

I'm still researching (aka I'm a noob) but thus far I can say I am liking EP more for the following reasons:
Less noisy eg. less offensive to others and more acceptable to fly in public places.
Less messy, more time to fly and less time cleaning.
Since my intent would be to someday include a wireless camera, the battery is already there.

Just my 1-1/2 cents.

Happy Landings.
