    A typical reaction to the gentle suggestion, "It's time to look at theory," is met with a scowl and a turned-up nose by enthusiasts of varied backgrounds. Even authors back away from the suggestion as if they were about to step on a rattlesnake.

    As an operator of modern glow engines, theory probably isn't at the top of your priority list. However, wouldn't it be gratifying to have the knowledge to answer confusing issues concerning engine operation - without consulting the local "expert"? Wouldn't it be fulfilling to discuss the pros and cons of controversial topics, such as fuels, glow plugs and engine-performance graphs, in an intelligent manner? Understanding basic theory gives you the capacity to achieve these operational objectives.

    Theory is not to be avoided, but used as a tool that can prevent you from making uninformed, costly, and sometimes embarrassing mistakes. The correct theory of engine operation hasn't always been available to the model airplane enthusiast. I can remember one very heated technical discussion at the 1961 Nationals. A well-known modeler was showing off his new bar-stock (homemade) engine, which, he proudly stated, "has a heavy piston." His theory: the heavy piston would have more momentum (force times velocity) than a lightweight version, therefore it would provide more torque (twisting force) and be able to turn more propeller pitch. All this sounded logical to those present - until the engine literally shook his model to pieces from the vibrations. Today, it's universally accepted that pistons and other reciprocating parts should be kept as light as strength requirements will allow. In the case of the heavy piston, inertia, impulse, change in momentum, the law of conservation of momentum and the square relationship between inertia and shaft speed are all important - not just momentum.

    The history of engine technology shows us that correct theory - or any theory - was the exception rather than the rule.

    The alternative to learning basic theory is to throw money at the problem. Purchasing a new engine every time you burn one up will get expensive. Don't worry; you're on the right track. The contents of this book will help keep you from experiencing what NASA calls a "catastrophic event." Besides, when you've finished, you'll know what to do with that little bottle of caloric the manufacturer supplies, free of charge, with each new engine.
