RE: numbers
In my case, I have never used diesels before because no one in my club uses one so I can't ask anyone for help. Of course, none of the local hobby shops carry the engines nor the fuel.
I have had great success with glow, so why change something with has worked great?
I am now buying a diesel because of a specific use, endurance, where diesels excel. If I have a good experience, I may continue using in for sport flying and some other members may try it also.
