and buy ordinary ball bearings of the correct size, or does a glow
engine need something special?

Got my AMA card in the mail. WOO HOO! :)

I live 25 miles from the nearest LHS, which sells only Morgan Cool Power
and/or and Omega (very limited -if any- choice of nitro content) glow fuels
at high prices.
I recently saw an advertisement for an imported product available via mail

Don't forget to come to the flying field at the fairgrounds for our
annual Jan. 1 fun fly. Rain, sleet, sunshine or snow if we can get there.

over an open fire; hot dogs, etc.
