JUDGING FROM THE ads in today’s model-airplane publications
and mail-order catalogs, it might appear that electric power dominates
the field of model-airplane propulsion. E-power is popular, all right,
but internal-combustion (IC) model engines are still very much alive.
That’s evidenced by the never-ending parade of new IC engines. At
least two have come out every month in the last couple of years. (I’ll
report on three new engines later in this column.)
