I'd electrify it as I gave up IC engines some time ago. Also it would have 2.4Ghz kit. Any one using the 2.4ghz system must beware of having the aerial pointing straight at the model. the tip signal from the aerial can be small & if you get a shut out the reciever can take a couple of seconds to re-lock on. Try switching off the Tx when jiggling the controls of a model on the ground. Then switch on again & take note of how long the re-attachment interval is. Take note of how everyone uses their aerial in the point up mode!! Malcolm
