With that said, I've decided I'll likely stick with Electric planes, if for nothing more than the simplicity.
The engines I have are as follows:
O.S. Max FX 30
O.S. Max FX 46 (x2)
O.S. MAX FP 60 (x2)
Super Tigre 40
Magnum XL 30 (and a 70)
O.S. Surpass 70
GMS 2000
I can't post links yet, but this is an album of most of the engines:

Don't sell those engines! USE THEM, they're all Great Engines and you've been given an opportunity to learn a completely new aspect of our great hobby. Glow Engines made it all possible. Don't deny yourself the sound and the smell of a good two stroke at full song. Castor Oil on your hands, a 15 minute flight on a tank of fuel. Even if you decide later on that you don't like flying glow at least you'll why....
What do you have to lose?
