I am looking to make the jump into larger sized aircraft. I have been flying small electrics (48") for a few years now. I have moved in the past year and with the move I have changed flying sites. My flying site used to be a smooth surface (geotextile fabric) and I am now flying off of a grass strip. My 48" electrics can fly off of the grass ok, but they are really too small for that type of field so that is really why I am looking to jump a larger size of aircraft.
When flying the smaller aircraft I opted to go electric because I thought that it would be cheaper/cleaner/easier than going nitro. Now that I am looking at aircraft in the 30cc range it is looking like going the gas route would be the cheaper way to go if I am going to be flying anything 6s and above. I have never had a gas airplane before so I am wondering what the pros/cons are of between a gasser and an electric in this size range. If any of you guys can offer perspective from each side that would be great. Thanks!
