Why not use use straight fuel with no nitro - no corrosion. (and yes,
less power 10-15%)

Due to some experience, I agree...

I would say that, those are much easier to start!

There is available very powerful electric motors to be used in
electric r/c aeroplanes, those might be usable also. I think they =

are available about same power levels as glow-plug model engines.
