Well, I'm certainly aware of these tiny models, I've just never heard the term 1/8 A applied to them.
I too, very much enjoy small models, but I tend to do them as electric powered models. My experience with getting the tiny engines to run properly has been rather frustraiting. Anyway, that's not the point. Small planes, electric or glow are a joy to fly.
I just got a Sp400 Push-E-Cat (rather large by 1/8 A standards) for the kids to learn on......Well that's excuse I use for getting it and I'm not changing my story.
I can hardly wait to give it a toss.
