the new small electrics are amazing- some of the kits are only $40. Of course you have to add some expensive electronics though. They usually run a better than 1:1 power to weight ratio and are SO easy to fly.

the new craze is going to be electric jets (turbines) as the fuel powered ones are considered a fire hazard (if crashed) do to the high temps they run at and amount of fuel on board.
they are banned at some AMA events.
you will see electric turbines in the very near future.

cool stuff

I have several electric ducted fan jets already- not impressed yet, but they are getting better. The one I have with a brushless motor hauls ass, but I much prefer the handling of proper prop driven planes.
