with a glow plane its fill er up and fly,with non fossil fuel.
glow planes burn alcohol based fuel,not fossil fuel FYI.
FYI, methanol is, for all practical purposes, a fossil fuel. It's made from natural gas. Nitromethane also is ultimately made from petroleum as is the synthetic oil in model fuel. Castor oil is vegetable based however.
Ethanol is made from corn, not methanol. Glow engines burn methanol, not ethanol.
To be perfectly fair, I'll point out the fact that most electric power ultimately comes from fossil fuel also.
I wasn't really tryin to ruffle any feathers with my comment about fossil fuel (although B.L.E. is right and that is what i meant in the first place about fossil fuel) but what i was really trying to say, is internal combustion on any scale is cool. just something about tuning carbs and getting things to run right thrills me. I guess I am like the guy on the tv show "tooltime" (or whatever it is called) I would hop up my lawnmower if i could figure out how to do it easily.
so like i said before, let's go burn some more dead dinosaurs!
