You're damn right. Real man like it when their engine quits, like to have to fiddle with their engines on a regular basis, love to have to swap all servo-gears periodically.. and a real man's heart really makes a jump of joy when his engine dies on him mid-flight. And yes, a plane should be dripping with oil when you land!

Now those gays.. man.. what gays are they.. they just want to fly undisturbed, want their planes just to work and do whatever you ask of them.. now how gay is that, where's the sport in that?

Live life on the edge, fly glow powered!

I again saw it demonstrated at Sivry in Belgium last week. Out of 41 contestants a small minority flew glow powered, YS to be exact. Out of 41 contestants like 6 flights failed because of engine faillure. All electric flyers made their flights without problems.

Looks like the gays are winning

I'll give the glow powered engine one thing tho.. the YS 170CDI is unbeatably by any electric setup if it comes to raw power on windy days. Hacker C50, plettenberg EVO, Hacker Q80, Axi 5330, 5325, neu inrunners.. all fine electric engines but in really strong winds there's only one capable of maintaining constant speed in every part of a flight, and that's the YS 170CDI.

However.. unfortunatelly that engine really profoundly hates airplanes. If it sees the chance to destroy one, it will do so. Hyde mounts, YS mounts, not mounted, concrete mounts.. it doesn't matter, it'll schred your plane to pieces slowly, spit it full of oil, stall on contest days, and so on.

"oh I have never had problems with my YS engine". Yes.. and I'm Santa Claus :P
