RE: Is wet power a dead end?
Power my 1/4 scale Fw 190 D9 with electric and keep my 15-25 minutes of flying time. Oh and keep the price around what I paid for my gas 80cc set up... around 700 bucks. And that included the spring starter and my 24oz. gas tank.
Nope, wet power isn't dead. Far from it.
THat being said, I do thing smaller glow stuff is as good as dead in the next few years. Electrics up to .60 or even .90 sized stuff will rule the market. Anything over that will be multi-cylinder glow or gas and multi cylinder gas.
I do hope glow dies soon though. As much as I loved it as a kid, I just dislike it now.
