RE: I am depressed!
You'll find them at Walmart. AAA, 1000 mah Duracell, less then $10, then make a trip to Radio Shack, get a battery holder and solder your connect on this. Fast, cheap, easy. I have some in the smaller planes, they work great.
Our LHS is about 1 hour away, they never have the props I need, push rods no longer then 12", silicone fuel line is out,
of course no gasoline fuel line 'you can use silicone', no planes over 40 size, glow planes disappear slowly, being replaced by toy planes.
So only reason to still go there is to buy glow fuel, until I figure some other source and mix my own.
