Default RE: Glow Fuel

ORIGINAL: jshponie

Just wondering what you are paying for glow fuel?

Here in Central Washington State

We have to pay over $25 a gallon

I think it is about time to convert to gas @ $3 a gallon

and now some gas engines are cheaper than glow

may they will price themselves out of business[font=''Times New Roman''][/font]
Unfortunately, the size airplanes that take glow engines take gas engines only in the very largest sizes, and few of them exist. The gas engines that are available are for model sizes that would burn a gallon of glow fuel each flight if there were glow engines large enough to fly them, that is.

Maybe some manufacturer will figure out how to make a .60 size and weight gas engine that works worth spit. But don't save your spit for that day.
