Glow Fuel
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
maybe they will price themselves out of business

RE: Glow Fuel
I get my fuel when it comes on sale at Hobby People, it has an average price of $15.00 a gallon for 15% Wildcat, before they had WC they sold Power Master and the 15% had a low of $13.00 to a high of $17.00, usually $15.00. After 1.20 I go right to gas without giving it any thought but 1.20 and smaller glow is just easier. The engine makers have no control over the price of the fuel. If you want you can make your own FAI fuel and tune your engines for that. I know there are a bunch of guys in the Tacoma area using FAI.

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.

RE: Glow Fuel
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.
