Default RE: Glow to Gas conversion

The elimination of wiping the plane comes from the reduced oil used by needle bearings.
By still using the standard glow crank/bearing you still need the ~20% oil, so it will still goo up the plane.

Rather than add the weight of an ignition system, consider GGL, 2:1 Gas & Glow. Enough methanol to have just the glowplug fire it, but 2/3 gasoline... you will have to add oil to bring it back up to ~20%, more details are around if that is a route you want to go.

Other than Klotz, or chainsaw 2stroke oil, anything way cheap out there to oil up some gas for a .40 - .60 glow engine?
