Obviously the guy likes electrics, so he spins the data in such a way that makes it viable in his mind.
To be clear I currently have flying 3 full composite thermal duration gliders (Sharon Pro, NYX, Topaz-RES), a DLG (Blaster), two giant scale gliders (4.3 meter ASW-27 and a 6 meter ASH-26), a 35% Extra 330 (DA100), 40% Extra 330 (DA150), Raptor 50 (OS 50 Hyper), and a Raptor 90 (YS 90). And HORROR of HORRORS I have THREE electric planes - Abbra 2-meter 10S pattern plane, 3.1 meter all composite Graphite F5J glider, and a ParkZone Corsair. So looking at my hangar most of my planes are NOT electric.

When it comes to boats I have 5 gasoline powered race boats, and 5 fast electric boats, so a slight tip to electric in the boat end of things.

So no spin needed to look at data and arrive at an informed conclusion. I have a fairly varied background in a variety of aspects of this hobby and see the pros and cons of each.

Oh well, like I said, pick your poison and fly what you like.
