Default RE: Glow vs. Gas

Hullo!
Wonder if I can ask a bit about alternative fuels for glow-engines..........for most other engines there seems to be alternatives, but a glow-engine like this for modelairplanes, which are basically like a small moped-engine, I have not seen any discussion on alternative fuels.
What about ethanol ?? Would that work, perhaps?? Are there such a difference between methanol and ethanol??
As an example, I have for 13 years run my boat-engine, an Albin O2 from 1948, which is a fourstroke, sidevalved,2-cyl gasoline/kerosene-engine on E85, which is ethanol 85% and gasoline 15%, without any problems.
