Flight times

These days there's not a lot of difference in times between a gas helicopter with a small fuel tank and an electric heli with a good battery!
Maintenance is far easier with electric, and they are much less expensive, and easier to fly.
If you're new to the game, definitely go electric over gas - no question! Have a look at http://www.rc-airplane-world.com/electric-rc-helicopters.html for more info ;-)
