Default RE: Comparing gas to glow

In the old days of gas it was something like 1 cubic inch for each 10 pounds of plane but they flew like bricks. You really had to watch the energy in the turns. Thankfully much better engines and ignitions became available!!

Dave,

Thanks for that rule of thumb. Works for me and I like it. I haven't flown glow in so long now I don't know if size references even matter anymore for me.
