Hi all, i have never flown anything gas or glow and was wondering if y'all could give me a few tips. Like, what are the differences? and what would happen if you put gas in a glow engine?
Well, for starters, gas engines are a little bigger for the same power as a nitro engine so you'll be adding a little bit more weight for the engine size to get the same power output of a smaller glow engine. But glow engines use fuel faster so you'll either have shorter flight times or put bigger tanks in your planes.
That's correct. Nitro is the fuel used in a glow engine. "Glow" describes the fact that the engine uses glow plugs to create combustion instead of spark plugs.
