I have always wondered why more diesels aren't used in Control Line flying where steady engine run is so important. Not being a U/C guy, I am wondering if it's that diesels don't exhibit the 4/2 break? Is it the fuel and mess?
I see more electric line control models than diesels, by far. Anyone know why?
