Nikolay,

At this moment it truly is a personal preference. Both have setups that are totally competitive on the world stage as seen by the results at the world championships. There are cheaper ways to do both that work, but may not be quite as powerful. I personally fly glow, but I certainly don't think people are held back in anyway by flying electric. They both work, and they both work very well. If you are starting from scratch the costs are even competitive. If you have been flying glow and switch or visa versa then you may find the costs to be a little high as you have already previously invested in your current setup. There are advantages and disadvantages both ways. As I said, I personally fly YS, but it is a choice just like many others. As you can see in my signature I am a YS team pilot, however if I truly believed electric was better then I would fly electric as I want the best equipment which gives me the best chance to win. I love my YS engines, but you will find many who will say the exact statements about electric. I have flown competitive electric setups and they flew very well and I know that I could be competitive with the electric setup as well. Bottom line is they both work, and they both work well. Neither are truly plug and play with 0 problems, but as with any high performance setup this is to be expected. I have seen people reference "no deadsticks" with electric, but I have seen several rounds lost due to faulty speed controllers, motors or other issues. The possibility of problems still exists with both.
