Competitively, I haven't see anyone switch to electric and become a better pilot. But, anything that keeps us interested as a hobby is a good thing. I just don't understand the animus from the recently E-converted, to hound the downfall of glow engines so much.

Yup...neither have I. Maybe the total number of lost rounds due to bad runs or no starts has been reduced slightly.

On the other hand, whenever an engine starts running strange, you stop "flying" and start "listening" .......that really screws up your timing. There is nothing like having confidence in your equipment's capability. Main reason I switched to gasoline last year. Reliability has been very good overall; not trouble free, but everything has a learning curve.
