Default RE: Conversion to Glow

Left the hobby about 10 years ago, finally got to retire and have been resurrecting my enthusiasm the last few months. Despite having about 50 glow engines and 60 or so kits / arfs in storage, went down to the local Hobby People and asked questions about going electric. After learning about motors, esc, batteries, charger, etc to fly a 46 - 61 size plane, decided the $300 - $400 to convert was just not going to work. I know electrics have gained significant popularity with the technology and loss of large flying fields, but fuel is $12 - $15 / gallon, I have thousands of $$ invested and 3 fields / clubs close by, so it looks like "they're going to have to pry my glow fuel pump from my cold, dead hands"!
