I posted that before:
Glow engine
Saito 125
$390 with muffler
Glow plug $6
1 gal. glow fuel $18.00
Use per flight (15 min)- 14 ounces average.
Cost per 100 flights- $196.90
Gas engine
Evolution 26GT2
$500 with muffler
Spark plug $3
1 gal. gas $3.50 with oil
Use per flight (15 min)- 8 ounces average.
Cost per 100 flights- $21.90
Conclusion:
With 100 flights the savings are $175.
With a gas engine you don’t have to adjust the needles because of temperature change. No oil on the airframe. Less fuel use – cleaner burn). Less noise. Less maintenance.
=more fun.
Happy landings
