I do want to point out one thing about cleaning up after a day of flying glow. Like everyone else, I sometimes wish I didn't have to do it. However, on more than one occasion I've found an issue that needed attention/maintenance while cleaning the private parts of my plane - I'm absolutely positive it would have been a long time before noticing any of this had I not needed to wipe down my plane. I think it's safe to say that the clean up at the end of the day is where you really get to know the condition of your plane, and really knowing your plane is a good thing.
True, True gaRCfield, but vibration is virtually nonexistent on an electric plane, so there's MUCHless wear and tear. Regular inspections should be done regardless of the type of power you choose, just common sense.
Don't get me wrong, I still love fuel powered planes, I just don't fly them anymore.
'I love the smell of Nitro in the morning. Smells like...............Victory!!!!!' Oh, wait! that was napalm.........
