I just did some quick figuring on the weight of my MPI super glow with battery is about 3oz. If this much weight sacrafices the performance of my Rascal. All Rasacal owners are in trouble. Heck weights of different engines will vary that much. I know my plane flys very well and with the little saito 56 it will almost hover. (as if a plane like this was supposed to do that).

I use the glow driver for convience. I have never been particularly fond of sticking my hand in a prop. Also I like the idle quality. It is just one less thing I have to worry about.

I think gadgets, gizmos or what ever any one else wants to call them have a place in the hobby, Some of them have become standards in our hobby look a computer radio's 10 or 15 years ago they were in the gadget catagory, and think how much they have improved our hobby.

Its not like they cost two or three hundred dollars, heck I think mine cost about 69 bucks complete. Thats about what it cost to take my old lady out to dinner and a movie.

Like I said before if I had to do it over again I would.
