When the USAF starts yanking out their fuel burning turbines and replacing them with electric motors, then I'll concede that the AGE of the ENGINE is over.
Or when I get passed by an electric powered semi.........
Glow engines might have reached a ''dead end'' but I'll bet not many guys in this hobby have reached or ever will reach that ''dead end''.
Excellent comment CBP!!! They can throw numbers at anything and come up with nothing but theory. You and I both know that the actual accomplisment itself is a far greater task. I just sold ALL my electric stuff. Just not my bag.
I live in Amish Country and they have solved the energy crisis. They have invented a mode of transportation that produces gas and requires none!! It's called a "horse".
For those of you that prefer electric...that is great! My concern is that with the RPM and HP numbers the electric guru's are coming up with that maybe the propeller/impeller will become an obsolete method of propulsion
