[QUOTE=Psychron;12369080guys at my club that get about 15 minutes of airtime before they run out of the pint of very expensive $25/gallon nitro fuel in the old style alcohol burners. I think if I spent 2K on a true gas engine for my plane I'd probably rig something up just to be safe. At that price an engine is an investment.

I love the smell, and sound of good gas engine, but you can buy a whole bunch of motors and speed controllers for that price.[/QUOTE]




You're posting about money again. It's funny how you forget to include the cost of your batteries.

As I said to you before, if it's about the money, you need a different hobby, because this one can be very expensive.

I also mentioned to you, that it's all fun, gas, glow and electric. You seem to feel that electric is superior, and frequent wet fuel forums to preach your gospel.
