your flying gas planes I assume, as have I. but I must say... I was eager to fly electric helis. Even with the best of tuning I found nitro to be fickle, always worrying it might stall for whatever reason, it happens... and while with a plane, a dead stick landing, with the exception of some more exotic planes, is all but childsplay. heli, its nice knowing that there is all but no chance that it will just drop from the sky, startup and cleanup are non issues as well, plus you can fly a heli just about anywhere, which may not be neighboorhood friendly if its nitro. Just some thoughts to maybe steer you to align Trex instead of raptor.
