To someone who loves motorcycles, hot rodding, drag racing...
model aviation is a real smorgasbord with all of the great little engines and ways to compete with them.
Unless something drastic happens to make running model engines too much of a hardship, there will always be a representative percentage of "Engine Men" who wouldn't have it any other way.
I bought 55 gallons of methanol from a Standard Oil Dealer about 10 years ago for $3 gallon. It still burns just fine, what is left of it.
The oil is fairly expensive, but gallon batches of 10% nitro, 20% oil fuel cost me less than $8 last time I did the math.
