Myself I like the big glow engines, light and powerful leads to better flying. I like to fly so I spend the cash on glow fuel, no biggie to me. I do like gas also, in a bigger planes( 80" and up), but hey everyone has an opinion.
I understand your point. However here in canada we pay $40.00 bucks for a gallon of nitro so running big Glow engines is very
expensive . With the new generation of lightweight engine like the ZDZ ,Taurus, weight is no longer a performance issue with gasser. I ran glow for several years but I preffer new generation gaz engine for larger scale plane like the Pitts. 5 gallon of fuel for
my pitts cost me 15 bucks and it is good for all the summer compared to a gallon of nitro wich you can burn in one week end with a Big glow .
But will always enjoy my .90 Surpass in my giles.
Just my 2 cents
