Default RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition

Hi guys,

Getting closer to flying my Katana with the Kioritz on glow. I religiously run my glow engines dry and use after run oil, but don't think it's necessary for gas engines unless they are going to be laid up for a good while. But what do you think about a gasser running ethanol? Is the ethanol hygroscopic and corrosive like methanol??

Later post... Having trouble with my onboard glow battery dying too fast. I'll run some cycle tests on it, and maybe double up on batteries, but what is the lowest percentage of methanol you guys have been able to run and not use glow power??

Thanks,
AV8TOR
