Airplanes run at about 15-20,000 rpm's and are engines run at 28-50,000 rpm's. Airplane fuel has 8-10% oil content (Or at least it used to. It has been awhile since I messed around with R/C planes.) and most good truck fuel has 18%. I am not saying that you can't use it but is it better to use the right stuff???
actually no. You get alot longer engine life WITH airplane fuel, your engine runs cooler, and you get better performance, there are many threads about it, check it out
