ciscovet.....yup, there's something to say about the smell of nitro.....i too fly mostly electrics....mostly in the 400-450-480 size.....mainly low and inside 3d style, hanging it on the prop and what not.......my big nitro 3d'ers are more fun but, they take up more room.....i fly my electrics everywhere, especially at the local park and at the dairy where my brother-in-law works.....the dairy own's 350+ acres of pasture, right across the street from my brother-in-laws house......i have it all to my self and the owner doesn't mind if i fly as long as i only fly my electrics, as not to spook the cow's.....so far i only fly my nitro planes at my club field and these are my go to planes, when the wind kicks up a little.....the nitro planes are heavier and the wieght serves as balast, so they don't get kicked around.....i have a precision aerobatics badboy v2 with a o.s. 46ax and jr x6102 computer radio and is more plane than anybody would ever need......i don't mind cleaning them after a day of flying, it gives me something relaxing to do, after a awesome day of flying......kinda my way of winding down, i get all worked up when i'm putting my badboy thru the wringer.....i say it's no different than dirt biking or four-wheeling???....you gotta clean them up, too, after a fun day of riding???.....either way, gas or electric, you can't find a funner hobby????....koolkrabber47......
