I am about to join the conversion to glow "counter revolution"!! Ditto to all the above reasons for glow conversion plus the biggie no one has touched....FIRE HAZZARD!!!!!!! I am primarly a larger airplane glow flyer, 70" to 110" w.s. with .46 to 1.20 2 and 4 stroke glow power, however I have tried 8 or so electric planes with mostly disappointing results. Yes, they have all been brushed motors with NiCad or NiMh batteries, no LIPOs. I know that sooner or later a battery would be forgoten and left on the charger too long and burn the house down. Not gonna happen here, NO LIPOs! Never!! The couple of electrics in my hanger that do fly well, Hobby Zone Super Cub, and Kyosho Stratus Sports sailplane will remain as NiMh electrics but they both need new batteries at $60 for the pair. Thats the cost of 3 gallons of glow fuel. How far could I fly these two on 3 gallons of glow fuel?? Yeah, electric is OK for some applications and some people but not the end all answer. I just bought an O.S. 15LA that will go into either my World Models 48" Cub (great looking but will barely get off the ground), or my Wattage PT-19 (also great looking but would only fly for about 2 mins. before falling like a stone with no engine power left). I'll see which one looks like the best match when the engine arrives.
