              Dave WAS trying to show the difference between glow and 
              electric.<BR>&gt;<BR>&gt; Generally, airplanes that started out as 
              glow-powered are heavier<BR>&gt; than one for electric power, 
              because of the vibration.&nbsp; The<BR>&gt; difference between the 
              two packages gets complicated.&nbsp; For glow, you<BR>&gt; include 
              spinner, prop, engine, motor mount, ignition system, fuel<BR>&gt; 
              tubing (and fittings), fuel tank and anything else which 
              is<BR>&gt; exclusively for glow.&nbsp; For electric, you include 
              spinner, prop,<BR>&gt; motor, motor mount, ESC, wiring, lipo 
              batteries and anything else<BR>&gt; which is exclusively for 
              electric.&nbsp; When you add it up, the weight<BR>&gt; differences 
              can be pretty dramatic.&nbsp; If you don't carefully 
              select<BR>&gt; all the components, you can easily add an unneeded 
              4 ounces to an<BR>&gt; electric-powered airplane.<BR>&gt;<BR>&gt;
