RE: Evolution Glow Engine Success Story
This thread just underscores the pathetic state of the average R/C enthusiast today.
Many pilots "my" age grew up playing with Cox airplanes and cars. We could tune a needle valve at ten years old.
Enter the age of electric powered ARF's. Now not to start a "war on electrics" deal here, the many positives can be laid out, and have, probably to death. I am simply pointing out the DOWN side. Today, men lacking these essential skills show up at the field, and are quickly frustrated with their new engines, and further frustrated by the helpful fliers who also do not know which way to twist a needle. So the new flier quickly sells his glow set-up and goes electric. Never mind that electrics have their own quirks and minefields to the uninitiated.
Just one old timer's perspective.
BTW, I am amused by the same posers dogging my Magnums.
