Actually, it is what your passion is, scale, one way, a Corsair with a electric or nitro? At one point, where 55cc gas and lightweight carbon planes(80 inch plus wing) and with 2 lipos (ignition and receiver) you got to redo all the 3 D stuff. Hovering, knife edged, rolling circles etc where you can fly for 20 min nonstop. That is flying. Now add oil for smoke to the exhaust, Can you do that to your electric?.
And when helis, I preferred 30 % nitro over flying electric.
Different strokes for different folks. Mr Man, how about a SR-71 powered turbine or electric?
