And, in Ohio, if I'm LUCKY I can fly 26 weeks out of the year, which is about 130 flights, 8oz per flight, 16 flts per gallon, 8.13 gallons per year, @15 per gallon 121.95. Add in a Saito .72 which pulls nicely BTW @224.00 and you have $345.95. Mmmmm, far cry from $400.
Just like u said, don't forget to add everything..How about yur electric starter ($25), field box($40), Ni-starter w/ charger ($25), field battery for Electric starter ($18), spare glow plugs ($5). Total $458.95
Don't forget the hassle of glow engines. You're always adjusting, noise, slop! With electric just turn it on and it runs!!
Who doesn't know what a CC P-60 is???lol

Maybe all the fumes of glow engines has got to u...
Ignore him mike....
I hate when people start stupid stuff
