OK... I fly ONLY gas or electric. I gave up on Glow about 6 or 7 years ago. After a day of flying, you don't have a drippy oily mess of a model to take home.

Your statement is true. A lipo can't last that long... but think about this... if you are flying that engine all the time, then how much $$$ in Glow fuel did you feed it?? Depending on the size... you could be drinking a couple gallons a month, and with the price of glow fuel these days... you would surpass the price of the battery.

As far as trying to fly big models on electric... that's just dumb. As soon as it gets big enough to fit a gas engine to it... then forget electrics. (Then burn Camping fuel to avoid the gas stink)

Right now, I don't have any 60 sized models in the hanger. They are all 15 sized and smaller (electric) or 100 sized, and bigger. (gas)


I feel your pain about loosing NitroPlanes. The thing that annoys me is looking though all the pages of models that are "out of stock." They need to pull the models that they don't intend to get back in stock.


Last thing... with the introduction of brushless, and Lipo's... Electric is here to stay.
