Hey everyone,

I used to fly electric only have one electric plane left and it is for sale. The cost of flying electric to me is more costly then flying glow planes. Plus there is no waiting just land gas up and go again. I hated waiting on batteries to charge (yes I had a number of batteries as back up. When you fly multiple days in a row the time it takes to recharge your batteries is crazy and time consuming. When I was flying electric there wasn't as many choices of aircraft to choose from. That has changed now and it to late for me to go back I have 12 glow planes now and will continue to fly those. I am not interested in going back to charge and fly. Batteries also go bad in time that is costly. When I was flying electric I thought there was nothing better once I started flying glow I realized glow is where it's at for me. Whenever you get into larger aircraft to spend a couple of hundred on batteries is just not to smart in my case. I love the smell of glow also.

SO FOR ME GLOW FOREVER!!!!!
