You better of get the gas heli then the electrical one. The electrical one has one advantage over it gas counter parts are that its ultra quiet, good on flying field that restrict of the noise level of the models. The bad news for it are that it cost a bomb to start it up, 3200 batteries are not cheap plus you need a very good battery charge to charge it. A very good motor are require. The flight are not great about 7-8 minutes max. from one charge, unless you get multiple packs of batteries(Expensive). IMHO just get the gas you get long flight time plus it get cheaper over the long ones plus you get the real heli noise that comes with it =).
