In reality , I hold no particular favor toward any one single power source and have no romantic attachment to which period in time's powerplant is favored over the others . Yes I do own Electric , Gas , Glow , and Diesel power systems for RC models and believe they all have their place in our hobby . From your opening post #1 I can tell you strongly favor glow , perhaps it's the power system that introduced you to model airplanes ? Also , let's not forget forget that Gas isn't today doing anything to Glow that Glow didn't do to Gas 60 or so years ago
Yes, I realized that.
Electric is great. Gasoline is great. I only wish glow would remain acceptable. However, it seems to me that some do not believe glow has or needs a place in this hobby any longer - hence the reason for starting this thread.
Yes, glow is the power system that introduced me to the hobby and I would like to believe that the majority of our aging modeler population have been doing it that way for quite a while.
My first engine is a Cox .049 Babe Bee like everyone had - right? I'm not old enough to have experienced the previous gas/ignition days although I've read about them in books and magazines and know exactly what your sayin'.
I don't have to like what's happening, just accept it I guess... I should just lick my wounds and go back to hoarding glow plugs. Head down, hands in pockets, and kicking pebbles. Shucks.
