Glow isn't dead. It is just hard to get, messy to clean up,more ground equipment, higher cost and heavier per unit time flying.
I converted a Saito 180 single to gasoline to replace a 3250 Super Tiger in my Sig Cub. It now has less power, but, with one half the tank size it flies 3 x longer (more fun per tank).

I remember you as a guru. Also in lots of those threads was a guy who towed nets to collect bugs and the Jedi Jody.

Just thinking of those old days makes me want to ask the question "What is the best oil to use ?"
