The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Well...That's because they understand "complicated" better than most!!!
That makes complicated SIMPLE!

A little respect for Engineers please.  Typically we've made everyone's life a lot simpler...and more complicated!   LL~ LL~

Well, the answer to the old question is YES, and NO!  It alwaws depends on your point of view, doesn't it?  And of course your overall position in the Big Picture!

Most engineers, by nature are pessimists!  Nothing is ever quite right, is it?   LL~ LL~
That's especially true with toy airplanes!

Carry a piece of rope about 16 feet long and you can lay it out in a circle for a 5 Ft Dia pilots circle.

A lot quicker than writing with Tums.  You should send your story to Tums.  They might give you a free box of Tums.
