RE: Novice seeking advice
I preferr glow myself for several reasons.
1. I don't like to wait for a battery to charge.
2. I don't like spending $50 for batteries on a constant basis or carrying $300 worth of batteries to the field.
3. I don't like having to replace $50 + ESC because it let out the brown smoke.
4. I don't like having to replace electric motors because they throw a magnet or get a bent shaft from clipping the prop.
5. I like just putting in some fuel and fly.
6. I like using the same engine for 20 or 30 years without having to keep buying new ones.
7. I like not having to worrying about a LiPo battery not puffing.
7. I like not having to worry about burning my house down when charging batteries.
8. And I don't have to carry battery chargers to the field.
Yeah I think I like glow a lot better.
