I Fly both electric and gas. My electrics far exceed my gas in every area except noise. While my 30% YAK is a lot bigger than my electrics it does not out perform them. I am curious as to what electric planes you have been flying, small park flyers or performance 3-D? All of my electrics are brushless and are flown on lipoly's, with most in the 150-200 watt/lb ratio, they are very light and powerful and do every 3-D move with authority. I am just the opposite I wish all of my planes were electric. I dont like having to break-in engines and premix gas and oil. The maintenance on my gas is a lot more involved as gas motors are shakers. Last week I had a prop screw break off in the prop hub, I had to drill it out with a left hand drill bit and order some new screws. I am always finding loose bolts or losing canopy and or cowling screws due to vibration. I have not had the same amount of problems with my electrics. My point is that while gas is exciting it takes a certain amount of attention to detail that my electric planes don't. Find out what is involved with gas before you give up on electric. I think that when both types are set up correctly and daily maintenance is performed, before and after flying, they both offer the R/C pilot many hours of enjoyment. Gas planes tend to be bigger and bigger planes tend to take more time to transport and unpack and assemble and fuel up and start up and warm up and disassemble and repack and transport and unpack and put back into their storage area. Gas planes are cool but they tend to take some planning and time. I like the convenience of throwing an electric plane in the back seat and driving down to the local school or park and flying for a half hour and then just throw the plane back into the car without having to wipe it down and head a couple of blocks back home. Don't get me wrong, I will never give up my gas YAK but it only gets flown on a Saturday or Sunday and I have to drive a half hour out to the club field to fly it. I wish you good luck with gas, however, I think you should do yourself a favor and get a really good electric plane too from 3D Hobby Shop or Extreme Flight or one of the other performance oriented companies and fly it anywhere anytime.
