Gentlemen, it is ok to get you hands dirty with an engine. Wear gloves if you dont want to contaiminant your hand moisteriser.
Electric comment often used is ,'messy engine,slimey,oily engine', listen to yourselfs, what are you saying.!!
Big deal, your ment to be men, clean your model! I mean you might have spent months making it but you won't spend a couple of minutes cleaning and checking over it. Geezzz
Simple, get a spray bottle and mix half water half methalated spirits,spray,use cloth, wipe off, easy!!
By God- there are still real men in this here model airplane game! Hurrah!!!!!!!! I owe you a Sammy Smith's Oatmeal Stout! You won't see any electric fullscale airplane of any consequence. (Sonex is one test example and its performance was miserable. The wet powered ones are very practical, though!)
Some folks like electric but not me. Their choice. I don't even need an electric motor to start my airplane!
