I hear you on the mess...I won't do glow anymore, but do like gas for the fact that I can get 15-20 minute flight times on planes. I am getting only about 6-7 minutes on electric and I like to fly more than that sometimes
Still electric is very easy and setup is simple too. Now with the new prices on batteries I may stay electric only in the future too. The batteries was what was holding my back from doing more electrics.
