Well everybody is entitled to an opinion, right? I just shared mine with all of you. And contrary to what others might think, my opinion dosen't represent any disespect on my part toward glow engine enthuisasts. Heck, I used glow engines for years myself. But for me, they were always a means to an end and not the fun part of the hobby. For others, tuning little engines and listening to them scream is fun.... That's cool.

Is it a great time to be in the hobby? Of course it is but then I would have said that at anytime in my history of invlovement with R/C. I see a trend that is gaining momentum. If you don't think so, that's fine. In the end, all that matters is that we enjoy our respective interests in the hobby and hopfully we can at least appreciate what each other is doing even if it's not our personal area of interest.
