STL, I normally refrain from even reading your posts, but I was bored this time. Let me be clear. Progress made in electric flight is just that. It effects only those who like it. The mainstream still is sport/glow. There's plenty of new stuff coming out every single day for that segment. Just because you and a few others favor the electric segment doesn't make it the wave of the future. Frankly, that's the stupidest, most self-absorbed thing I've read recently. That's like saying giant scale gas is the wave of the future. Sure, both are segments. Maybe even growing segments, but IC is still what it is. Internal Cumbustion. Mechanically inclined people like me aren't gonna give it up for anything and this hobby is dominated by mech types like me.
