[NSRCA-discussion] Fuel Weight

[Del K. Rykert]

Well I Don't see anyone selling off their used out dated electric stuff so glow power is still the only choice for some. I don't see battery manufacturers truly putting in practice a good battery guarantee that you can count on getting 2 to 3 hundred cycles out of them before they are no longer competitive.  Way to disposable for my sport budget.

  It may be cheaper in the end, but laying out the $$$ to get started is the hard thing.(4 sets of batteries, chargers, power supplies/generator).

  Electricity is a whole lot cheaper than glow fuel - it's just the darn tanks that are expensive (and heavy)!

    24oz is .1875 gallons. Nitro fuel weighs about 7.5# / gal. The fuel weight would be 22.5oz, but, a pound and a half is close enough for government work.

    I didn't look up the weight of electrons, but one of my battery packs weighs 2.5lb and cost $740 and I still think electric is cheaper ------- and, it doesen't take creative accounting.                         Nat
