It just shows that, even with equal power, the opportunities are a lot higher with E-power (when in a non-electric-only class).

Oh please get real. I've also witnessed hundreds of dollars of speed controllers and batteries fry instantaneously. Watched an F5J plane burst into flames after a meltdown caused a short. And lets not forget that a bent shaft can render a likely Open B electric motor worthless a lot faster than you can bend a shaft of a typical IC engine.
Electrics are getting better but why are people in a panic about some potential future state that might happen in 3, 5 or 7 years.
It is silly to limit competition based on maybes and what ifs.
There is no electric motor/ battery / controller combo that is even close to the power to weight ratio of a Fora or even a Jett for that matter. Not even close.
Lee's money is safe. If someone wants to continue the silly side of the discussion they should do so by putting up a counter side to Lee's offer.
