lablover,
I'd go one further than saying glow is "fine". Ipersonally recommend all new pattern pilots fly glow, at least through Intermediate, because what's important when you're new is getting inLOTS of stick time. When flying glow, especially a two stroke, you will easily be able to getdouble the stick time than if you flew electric. This is what Idid when I started and I commonly put in 18 minute flights, one after the other. For me this made a huge difference in how quickly Iwas able to progress.
BTW,the OS 1.40RX is the PERFECT setup for this!
You're in great shape!

Really glad to read this too! I picked up a Dream 110 with a YS 120 because I fully planned to start with glow, pretty much for the reason Keith stated (the flight times). Given the glow fuel is getting pricey, we decided to roll our own which brings the cost down quite a bit (I know that's not do-able for all). Hoping to get enough practice in to make a few events in the later half of the season. Really good points from all here for us newbies.
