At the February meeting I met some new folks interested in learning to fly. One of the questions new people always ask is “Should I go gas (meaning glow) or electric?” That is a good question and like all good questions it deserves a good answer. But the answer to this question may depend on whom you ask. We have some members who only fly electric and not glow, and others who fly just glow and gas but not electric. So naturally, most flyers will tell you that what they fly is the best choice. I’m one of the guys that fly both, so I’ll try to give you a fair evaluation. Remember, this article is aimed at folks just getting into the hobby who don’t have any equipment to start with. If I show any dollar amounts it’s just for comparison, you could spend more or you could spend less. New flyers will want to check in the Library section on our club’s website, there is an article that goes into much more detail on the subject of getting started in R/C flying. But now, at the risk of offending both the glow and electric folks, here it goes.
