But you guys have to bear with me ...as I really wanted this plane to be as efficient as possible ...ie. normal gas mixed with a little oil and only one battery to power the receiver.
You still may want to consider gas/glow. You do have to mix gasoline and glow fuel and use a glow plug in your gasser, but then, just connect a battery as in glow to start and then disconnect the battery to fly. No CDI, no magneto, no sparkplug, no on-board battery for ignition. Fuel cost much much less than glow. Mess much much less than glow.
Over and out.
