Yeah, I am back to glow power 100%. I flew gas for a few years on my Super Scout ( http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/scratch-building-aircraft-design-3d-cad-174/11607455-scout-aero-gas-project.html )

but I never liked the smell that just reminded me of lawn work! I used Avgas at the end and that was great, but when the ignition module died, I figured that was enough. I sure love the simplicity of glow engines. Sold the Twin Tartan and haven't looked back.
