This is very true. But, the problem that comes up is that if a plane is underpowered, and you go to full throttle, well, there is a good chance that the smoke maker starts to work and all that canned up smoke comes out of something. With glow, well, all you get is... well, at times, nothing but a model that rolls around on the ground but never makes it up in the air.

I like to "over power" even my electrics for that very reason. Bigger battery packs with more capacity to get more flight time. But, again, weight is a bigger factor with electrics than it is with glow... to a point.

Boy, I say "even my electrics" as though I was a pro with them... ha.. not so, for sure. I fly them, but am a totally a glow person.
