RE: Time to decide.
Joe,
The electrics give you more stick time, only if you have several charged packs, and also hope that you never have a problem with a pack. I just really don't see what you are gaining by changing planes. I have seen the Wind fly and it presents and flies pretty much like a Venus II. It is not significantly if any better. I would take the money and invest in good servos. Also, you can buy a LOT of fuel for the price of a new plane. The 1.10 doesnt burn that much fuel....
