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.
The "was it ever?" comment speaks to a lack of knowledge of the history of our hobby.
At one point, glow was the best viable option to power RC aircraft. Gas made huge inroads in the 80s. Electrics didn't become viable for a couple decades after that.
