Default RE: Is Hobbico dumping Super Tigre glow engines?

At least when fuel's concerned, It's still cheaper for me to convert my 40 sized models to electric for the long run. Batteries that used to cost close to 100 dollars are now about 20. I can get a 5s, 8000 mAh pack for just under 90 dollars. A jug of 15% glow around here is pushing 40 dollars, so it just doesn't make sense unless I fly only a few times a month. I'm probably not going to make a switch for a while, but I expect glow to go the way of the typewriter quite soon.
