I don't know what I said to make several people think I hate glow engines, especially to deserve the anger I'm seeing in John's posts. I said previously that I have several glow planes. I fly them and enjoy them. A big part of the appeal for me is that I like the noise. Another plus for me is that I don't have to bother with battery charging; I can keep flying as long as I have fuel. But I also can see what's plainly true right in front of me- that electric has improved to the point that it is practically a wash for performance. I can also plainly see that it's cleaner and more trouble free assuming you learn how to measure amp draw and prop your models right. For those reasons, I think electric will continue to grow as glow continues to decline. I'll still fly my glow planes for years to come, but will do so knowing that it's for the two reasons mentioned above and not because it's the best performing power system or the most "high tech."
