I started out on foam and electric. Now that I can fly and land without destroying the plane(most of the time) I’ve started with glow. I have acquired several glow powered planes and flown a couple of them. I have an Aeronca with a Magnum .26 4 stroke, a Tower Trainer that started with a Super Tiger 46 and Now has a Magnum .52 4 stroke. So far those are my favorites to fly. I can charge my Life receiver battery faster than a couple Lipos add fuel and fly for longer than I would with a stack of batteries. Yes I have to wipe the plan down afterwards but paper towels are cheap and glow sounds and smells better than battery. Still working my way up to my 1.20 powered Corsair
