Default RE: Electric v Glow comparison

Watts of power in an electric is a good way to guess what the performance will be like. 100 watts per pound of weight will give you a good flying electric with decent vertical and good aerobatic capability.

So I'd say use that as a comparison to glow. 100 watts per pound would give you power equivalent to a 46 glow engine on a 40 size plane.
