Didn't offend but I thought maybe a couple of the guys would donate a couple of the new little gas engines if I cried loud enough. When I moved here it was still mostly glow powered planes then the cheap Chinese gas engines hit the market. All of a sudden glow engines were far and few between and the planes started getting bigger. This was at a time when I was building smaller planes again. The DLE 30 was king for a long time. Then the 111 has taken over and I see bigger engines being used on our club web site right now.
I just sold my G-62 and the biggest gasser I have now is 40cc.
I just came in from the shop, I opened up a YS diaphragm to clean it and do a check, now I stink like glow fuel.
Tomorrow I will work on my electric. PM glow fuel is still about 15 bucks a gallon. I'm thinking when it hits 20 I will get out of the hobby.
