Does glow engine powered R/C still gain favor over other forms (i.e. gas, electric, or silent [none]) of power for radio controlled aircraft?
What are your thoughts - interested in all responses.
In 2005 I started flying with glow, had a few 60-sized glow planes, then converted my entire fleet to electric. I now have 10 planes which are all electric and 1 turbine jet which burns K1 kerosene. Even my 9 foot 2 inch Rascal 110 is electric.
At our field, electric seems to be taking over although there are some flyers who hang on to their glow planes. EDF's are popular at our field.
However, now that I think about it, gas-powered warbirds are very popular at our field. I am the only guy at our field with large electric-powered warbirds.
