I think all the reasons for resistance to diesels are listed her ein the various posts except 1. I don't know about you guys but for me, being a motor head, I just plain like to run diesels. I love the smell all acrid and nasty. I really am always amazed at the grunt of these engines. Now for years I flew glow and still do as a major power source, though the truth is I'm a rubber flyer. Sparkers fascinate me too am I've done some glow to spark converts just for the fun of it. I must say though that my interest is more in the engine itself then the utility of it. I love the old LLLOOONNNGGG strokers like the AHC diesel I just finished. I love tiny ones like the Bambi and I'm getting ready to built and ED Baby as soon as the casting shows up. I fly some CL and FF on diesel, but none throttled.

I guess for me I'm more interested in the engines themselves than their advantages vs disadvantages.
