<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Is your message that glow is at
a disadvantage? Cost and what some can afford has always and will always
be an issue in this sport. Back when everyone else switched to full 2 meter
planes and I stuck with 60 size 2 cycle I could easily see the disadvantage I
was at except in calm air. If that is where electric is taking the sport
then that is another nail in the proverbial coffin for the sport. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I have a built-in problem with someone being able to "buy" a
win. It comes from when I entered the Soapbox Derby as a 14 year
old. In my first race, I was beaten buy a kid who eventually won the
whole race. My dad could afford to buy me an official set of
wheels, but no more. The father of the kid who beat me bought ten sets
of wheels and they were able to select the four best wheels. If a rule
enables only the "rich" to compete successfully with an e-powered airplane, it
gets my hackles up.

a quieter powerplant. Very shortsighted rule as the 120 4C became
dominant rapidly. Clearly the gap (if there is one) between electric
and glow today is nothing like the 2C / 4C gap was in ~1988 (when 2C 60s

to an extensive weight-saving building job on his Black Magic by Mike Hester

prop, motor, spinner, et al, his airplane is OK with weight, even in the
kind of winds we often see at the Nats. He's thinking about the guys who
can't afford as much $$$ as he has invested in his setup. The average guy
probably can't build an electric-powered 2 meter airplane that makes weight
and is competitive with the kind of budget required for a glow-powered
version of the same airplane. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
