Im not really a fan of electrics. had my share of electric helicopters. i find that you can never own enough batteries, and they quickly add to the expense. plus i have all the nitro support equipment, sold all the heli support equipment, so i would have to reinvest in chargers/packs, etc. not worth it for just one plane. but thats just me.

i will admit, that for a park flyer, or yard stik, or something else with a wider variety of flying sites, electric is a great option. but when you meet up with your friends a few times per week at a field thats a good 20 minute drive from your home, and you already drag 2 nitro burning planes with you, a third doesnt hurt much.

nitro is messy, but i like the freedom of just taxing up to my fuel caddy, killing the engine, topping off the tank, starting, and going up again, as many times as my fuel supply will allow.
